Sourenee Tea Estate is a historic Darjeeling tea garden situated in the Mirik–Soureni belt of South-East Darjeeling, close to the Indo–Nepal border. Established in the late 19th century, Sourenee is among the early estates that expanded Darjeeling tea cultivation beyond the main ridge into warmer, mist-laden southern hills.

The estate’s landscape of rolling slopes, forest edges, and steady monsoon influence gives Sourenee a distinct Mirik-region character. Over generations, it has remained committed to orthodox Darjeeling tea production, focusing on consistency, balance, and regional expression rather than experimental styles.

Sourenee stands as a reminder of Darjeeling’s southern tea heritage, where climate and elevation create approachable yet characterful teas.

Sourenee Tea Estate operates under traditional plantation management, with emphasis on:

Orthodox manufacturing practices

Seasonal consistency across harvests

Long-term bush and soil health

Workforce stability and estate-based livelihoods

The estate supports a resident tea community, many with long-standing ties to the garden.
