Happy Valley Tea Estate is one of Darjeeling's oldest and most renowned tea plantations, established in 1854. Visitors can join guided walks through the verdant tea gardens, where workers pluck the tender leaves by hand. The tour continues into the factory, where the leaves are withered, rolled, fermented, and dried. Knowledgeable guides explain the nuances of tea production, from the different flushes to the grading of leaves. The experience culminates in a tasting session, allowing guests to savor the estate's signature brew while taking in the panoramic mountain views.
