Giddapahar
On the way to Kurseong thru the longer Mahanadi route, lies this small unknown tea estate, which escapes everybody’s attention because of its owner’s attitude. Himanshu & Sudhanshu Shaw, two simple jolly natured young persons own this and stays on the property.
After being associated with Darjeeling since 1976, I came across this tea recently and found this comparable to Makaibari. Simply because of the owner’s simplicity this is a underplayed tea and does not find its right place in the international markets.
