you are from south India, Nilgiri could be the third. But Kangra tea?
There was a time when tea from this part of Himachal Pradesh ranked
among the best in the world. In 1883, the Gazetteer of the Kangra
District noted that tea produced in the region was “probably superior to
that produced in any other part of India”. In the 1890s, almost 10,000
acres in the Kangra valley was covered by tea plantations. In 1892, the
Kangra Valley Tea Company Ltd sold more than 20,000kg of tea in London.
Between 1886 and 1895, Kangra’s tea won gold and silver medals for
quality in London and Amsterdam. Yet, it slipped virtually into
oblivion. How did that happen? It’s a long story, but let’s begin from
when Kangra had its first bush—sorry, brush—with tea. Early success
William Jameson, superintendent of the Botanical Gardens at Saharanpur
and the Northwest Frontier Province, was the man who brought the tea
plant to Kangra. In 1849, he planted Chinese hybrid shrubs at three
places in the valley: Kangra town (altitude 750m); Nagrota (870m) and
Bhawarna (960m). Kangra town was too warm and dry, but the plants did
well at the other two places. This was all the encouragement the local
administration needed. Three years later, in 1852, it set up a
commercial plantation at Holta near Palampur, at an altitude of 1,260m.
In the next seven years, a number of private planters, both locals and
Europeans, got into the business. They set up 19 tea estates in the
region, covering a total of 2,635 acres. In another 15 years, the area
under tea had increased to 7,994 acres, and by the end of the 19th
century, it stood at 10,000 acres and produced almost 1,000 tonnes of
tea annually. At least 80% of these plantations were around Palampur,
which had a congenial climate and abundant water. Kangra Tea As the sun
rises over palampur, the dew drops that have settled over the night on
the dark leaves of the tea bushes act as scores of little prisms that
disperse the first light - and announce to the world that they nurture
yet another fine crop of Kangra tea. CSIR's national laboratory at
Palampur, Himachal Pradesh, INDIA is dedicated to R of tea in hilly
areas. It has standardized the technique for manufacture of orthodox
black and green teas popular as Kangra tea - a perfect source of
refreshment, nourishment and protection. May it be the connoisseurs
choice of orthodox tea or green tea, Kangra teas acquiesce this. Kangra
tea with perfect blend of liquor and flavour is just not the cup that
cheers but also offers bountiful of health nourishing natural products.
