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.

Best time: March-May for the flush.

Permits & season for Sikkim

No ILP, but protected areas (Nathula, North Sikkim beyond Mangan) need permits arranged through registered agencies ahead of travel.

March to May for rhododendrons and clear skies, October to December for the sharpest views; the monsoon closes high routes.
