Singtom Tea Estate is one of the oldest and most historically significant tea gardens in Darjeeling, established in the early days of tea experimentation in the hills. Located close to Darjeeling town, Singtom has played a formative role in shaping the region’s reputation for fine orthodox teas.

The estate is often associated with the earliest successful tea plantings in Darjeeling, making it a cornerstone of the district’s tea heritage. Despite its proximity to town, Singtom retains a distinctly plantation character, with steep slopes, misty mornings, and long-established tea sections.

Over time, the estate has balanced tradition with refinement, producing teas that reflect classic Darjeeling elegance and clarity.

Singtom Tea Estate is managed under a structured plantation system, with focus on:

Preserving heritage tea sections

Maintaining orthodox manufacturing standards

Ensuring consistency across seasonal harvests

Supporting a long-established estate workforce

The garden supports a resident community, many of whom have multigenerational ties to the estate.
