Himalyan Green Tea

West Bengal, a state in eastern India, is renowned for its lush landscapes and rich agricultural heritage. Often referred to as the "Tea Garden of India," the state is a major producer of tea, particularly the Darjeeling variety, which is globally acclaimed for its unique flavour and aroma. Darjeeling tea is cultivated in the Himalayan foothills, where the cool climate, abundant rainfall, and fertile soil provide ideal conditions for tea plants. The tea is known for its delicate flavour, floral aroma, and bright amber colour. Other tea varieties produced in West Bengal include Assam tea, which is characterised by its strong, malty flavour, and Dooars tea, which is a blend of Assam and Darjeeling teas. Beyond tea, West Bengal is also known for its production of rice, which is the staple food of the state. The state's fertile plains, particularly in the Gangetic Delta, are ideal for rice cultivation. Other crops grown in West Bengal include jute, a natural fibre used in textiles, and sugarcane. The state's agricultural practices have been influenced by its rich cultural heritage. Traditional farming methods like intercropping and organic cultivation have been employed to preserve the soil's health and biodiversity.
