May the world be a better place for 2010 and for Tea!!! Especially Darjeeling Tea. The serene hills are facing a tremendous phase as hardliners are battling it out for Gorkhaland. Now we are not in the business of politics but we are concerned about the lovely land , the wonderfully hospitable and charming people and of course Darjeeling Tea.

The primary concern is that as we approach the seasons of specialty teas , the ever famous first flush and the oncoming seasons, the political developments on in any direction may cause an impact in the quality productivity of the crop and the movement of logistics. Even as the season unfolds there are a myriad major clientele who want to visit the gardens to see the processes from a purchasers perspective. We hope that the present and future scenario does not hinder business and tourist visitors as a considerable amount of populace depends on this very livelihood.
