Travel around the world, you will not find a more aromatic Darjeeling than Makaibari, a brighter cup than Gisovu or strength to rival Dirai. In 1912, when the tea industry was predominantly British, PC Chatterjee founded Luxmi Tea as an Indian movement for self reliance. At the time, tea making was characteristically British – sola toupees, burra sahebs and sundowners. Luxmi was born out of PC Chatterjee's quest to make Indian tea a tool in the Satyagraha movement and to break the British monopoly.With a tract of land in Tripura to his name, he began to cultivate tea independently, without management agencies or advisors from London. Little did he know the extraordinary legacy that he would create and set into motion with Luxmi.Some of the most pristine tea estates owned by us are - Makaibari -Kurseong, DarjeelingNarayanpur - North Bank, AssamGisovu - Rwanda, AfricaDirai - South Bank, AssamManu Valley - Tripura
