Temi Tea Garden in May
Sikkim’s only tea garden.
Quick answer. Late spring. One of the two best windows; pre-monsoon build late in the month. For Temi Tea Garden specifically, May is inside the short good window, so lock stays early.

Why May here
Established 1969 on a south-facing slope: estate walks, factory visits and the spring flush.
Temi is Sikkim’s single tea estate, planted in 1969 on a warm south-facing slope below Tendong: estate walks between the sections, a small factory that sells direct, and the first-flush season in spring.
What to do
First flush
Spring plucking, sold at the estate door.
