The Poobong Tea Estate is located in the Darjeeling region of West Bengal, India, known for its beautiful landscapes and high-quality tea production. Situated at a high altitude in the foothills of the Himalayas, it produces some of the finest tea in the world, particularly Darjeeling tea, which is often referred to as the "Champagne of Teas."
The estate itself has a rich history and has been a significant contributor to the tea industry in Darjeeling. The area is known for its favorable climate and unique terroir, which gives the tea a distinctive flavor profile. The Poobong Tea Estate grows mainly Darjeeling's second flush teas, known for their muscatel flavor, and its teas are highly sought after by connoisseurs.
Apart from the tea, the estate offers picturesque views of the surrounding hills, including glimpses of the famous Kanchenjunga peak, and provides a serene environment for visitors. It’s a popular spot for tea enthusiasts who want to experience the tea-making process firsthand or just enjoy the tranquility of the area.

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.
