Chong Tong Tea Estate is a historic Darjeeling tea garden located in Marybong, near Bijanbari / Pulbazar, in the southern belt of Darjeeling. Established in 1882, the estate emerged during the expansion phase of Darjeeling tea cultivation, when planters moved beyond the main ridge to explore fertile southern valleys.

Set amid rolling hills, forest patches, and river-fed catchments, Chong Tong benefits from a moderate Himalayan climate with ample rainfall and mist. Over more than a century, the estate has maintained its identity as a traditional orthodox producer, focused on consistency and terroir-driven expression rather than high-volume output.

Chong Tong represents the quiet continuity of Darjeeling tea history—a garden shaped by time, landscape, and generations of tea-growing knowledge.

Chong Tong Tea Estate operates under conventional plantation management, emphasizing:

Stable orthodox tea production

Maintenance of long-established tea sections

Estate-based processing

Workforce continuity and welfare

The estate supports a resident tea community in and around Marybong, with strong ties between the garden and local livelihoods.
