ARYA TEA ESTATE
In the Eastern Valleys of Darjeeling, below Rajbari is located the secluded Arya Tea Garden. Natively known as ‘Sidrabong’, meaning ‘three streams’, this North-western facing estate has 125 hectares of land under tea, and stands at an elevation of 4600 feet above sea level. Although established in the year 1885, Legend vouches that first tea bushes here were planted as early as 1765 by Buddhist monks or Aryas, after whom the garden is presently named. The abode of the monks still stands today at the garden’s premises. Arya's production is much anticipated for its collection of specialty Jewel teas, the quality of which the Garden has consistently fulfilled through the years. Even this year, with incessant rainfall and sparse sunshine creating havoc for their 2nd flush, the manager, Mr. Roy braved the climate to produce Arya’s specialty jewel teas in the same quality and flavour.

Frequently Asked Question
I'm not sure about ordering online. What if something goes wrong?
That's a fair worry, and we hear it often.
Tea is personal. If your order arrives damaged, wrong, or just doesn't feel right, message us on WhatsApp at +91 76019 36803 and a real person will sort it out with a replacement or refund.
No forms, no fuss. You can also talk to us before you order and we'll help you choose. And if you're ever in the hills, walk into our stores in Darjeeling or Gangtok and taste before you buy.
How do I know Mayukh Tea is certified and genuine?
We're registered with the Tea Board of India and FSSAI certified. Every tea we sell is 100% genuine Darjeeling, and anything that isn't (like our wellness blends) is clearly labelled so. We source directly from 35 to 40 reputed estates and tell you exactly which garden, which flush, and which year your tea comes from. When a brand names the estate on the pack, it has nowhere to hide.
What is a "flush," and which one should I choose?
A flush is simply a harvest season. First Flush comes in spring and tastes light and floral. Second Flush comes in summer, bolder, with the famous muscatel sweetness. Autumn Flush is smooth and mellow. If you're new to Darjeeling, start with our Premium First Flush. It's the tea our customers love most. Still unsure? WhatsApp us and we'll find your cup together.
Do you ship across India? How long does delivery take?
Yes, we ship everywhere in India, and shipping is free on orders above ₹499. Most orders leave us within 24 to 48 hours.
