The lip smacking fresh Spring Teas is being harvested!

Plantations are lushing with fresh new shoots and the colourful dressed pickers are busy picking the fresh new batches of spring leaf which carry on till the end of april.

The air among the pickers, planters and tea makers is filled with excitement to roll out the best makes of darjeeling tea in the market.
