Ging Tea Estate

The Story

Ging Tea Estate is one of the earliest-established tea gardens in Darjeeling, located in the western hills of the Darjeeling district. Founded during the pioneering phase of Darjeeling tea cultivation, Ging holds an important place in the region’s tea history and is often counted among the original gardens that shaped Darjeeling’s global reputation.

Spread across dramatic Himalayan slopes and surrounded by forested ridges, the estate experiences cool temperatures, frequent mist, and strong seasonal contrast. Over generations, Ging has maintained a reputation for traditional orthodox production, with teas that express depth, structure, and classic Darjeeling character.

Ging Tea Estate reflects the heritage-driven heart of Darjeeling tea, where time-tested practices continue to define quality.
