Brewing tea tourism

Located near Agartala, the Durgabari Tea Estate is one of the nineteen tea estates that mark West Tripura district as a leading producer of tea in the state. Spread over a vast area, this estate is not only a vital economic hub but also a picturesque site that attracts numerous visitors. Its proximity to the capital city enhances its accessibility, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists seeking to immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty of sprawling tea gardens.

Historical roots, colonial heritage and the goddess

The Durgabari Tea Estate's inception dates back to the late 19th century during the British colonial era, a period that introduced tea cultivation to the region. The estate's name is derived from a nearby revered Durga Temple, an integral part of local spiritual life for centuries. The British recognized the region's favourable climatic conditions and fertile soil as ideal for tea cultivation, setting the foundation for what would become a flourishing tea production area. The colonial legacy is still visible today in the architecture of the estate’s manager's bungalow and other structures, serving as a testament to its rich historical past.

Black gold

Durgabari Tea Estate is renowned for its expansive fields of Camellia sinensis, the plant species from which most tea is made. The meticulous care in cultivating, plucking, and processing these plants ensures the production of high-quality black tea, known for its exquisite flavour and aroma. The estate's scenic vistas of neatly lined tea bushes stretching into the horizon offer a soothing backdrop that complements the region’s natural beauty.
