The historical backdrop of Darjeeling gardens goes back to 1847 when the then government chose to set our Darjeeling Tea nurseries for experimentation and development. Gradually by 1852 Darjeeling began its initial business with three Darjeeling Tea Estate's specifically Tukvar, Steinthal, and Aloobari. Soon various Darjeeling Tea Estate's sprung up and today there are 80+ tea estates in Darjeeling. Some have shut down, however, 80+ remains.
Today Darjeeling Tea is acclaimed to be among the best teas in the world which are savoured by connoisseurs’ world over. The Queen of the Hills – Darjeeling produces a limited amount of tea and each tea is different, owing to its climate, soil, slope, mountain mist, and rain.

why Sikkim Tea like Temi Tea estates doesn’t fall under Darjeeling Tea category? Geography wise all is same. Is there a state politics involved here ?
