The garden management is dedicated to protecting the environment and maintaining ecological balance, with one side of the garden bordered by dense forest and regular tree plantations carried out in the fallow areas. Nahorhabi Garden produces exceptional quality Assam Orthodox and CTC teas, known for their robust and full-bodied flavors.
