Giddapahar, Nepali for a 'the mountain of vultures', is a high rocky cliff at 4500 feet above sea level literally perched by a venue of vultures that watch over with their sturdy gaze upon the Southern Valley of Kurseong. Established in the year 1888, the garden has a small tea growing area of 94 hectares exclusively dedicated to pure China and Chinese Hybrid bushes. A majorly east facing garden, Giddapahar is a stalwart producer of orthodox teas and is one of the few gardens to use original orthodox machinery from the olden days like a 100 year old rolling machine from Birmingham. Some of oldest high elevation bushes are found in the garden's sections that manifest unique bright and brisk golden liquors and the most splendid Muscatel 2nd flushes in the entire district.

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.
