Dooars Jayantika First Flush Broken Orange Pekoe Small CTC Tea 2026

Jayantika Tea Estate is located in the Terrai region of India and falls between two international borders – Nepal on the north west and Bangladesh on the south east. The garden has rolling topography and few jhoras (small hill streams) pass through its area. Jayantika is the last tea garden on the Terrai plateau and is followed by sprawling paddy fields and pine apple gardens.

This Garden was originally named Sahabad derived from family name of the Saha family, the erstwhile Zamindars from Jalpaiguri in West Bengal who planted the garden in the year 1929 in very adverse conditions. The Laboures were brought from Ranchi and Chota Nagpur. This part of the country before independence was undeveloped and known as Kalapani on land. This area was full of wild life and infested by disease like Malaria, Dengue and Kala Azar. During Colonial regime many rebellions were dumped here. This area also had a convict hanging place presently known as Phansidewa. In the year 1989, the name was changed to Jayantika Tea Estate.

The garden was acquired by Jayshree Tea and Industries Ltd. in the year 2008. This part of the tea growing area has very erratic weather conditions and the garden faced acute droughty conditions due to shrinking of rain distribution. Jayshree Tea management took number of measures like:

Raised a tea plant nursery and shade tree nursery of good quality and high yield clone.
