Tea Tourism

Tea Tourism or Indian Tea Trail as I call it, is not just about travelling to a tea garden, visiting a factory and doing some tea tasting. Indian Tea Trail is more of an exploration of senses through experiences that, perhaps, has the potential to change your life… As I embarked on my journey to find and understand the finest tea that the world knows and loves – Darjeeling, little did I know that this will be a never-ending love story in my life….
