摘要：

Nestled in the lush arboreal hills around Kurseong in Darjeeling District, India, Makaibari Tea Estate has evolved from plantation to legacy. Founded in the 19th century, the estate is one of the oldest and most iconic in the region, admired not only for the quality of its fine teas, but also for its commitment to sustainability, community, and innovation. Particularly since the 1980s, Makaibari has grown from a traditional estate into a globally recognized brand, with its packaged teas symbolizing biodynamic farming, organic cultivation, and ethical labor practices. It appeared to be a universal practice for Darjeeling tea companies to establish their reputations with their best teas sold abroad, and offer far lower quality tea to domestic consumers. Times are changing, and Indians want to be able, even in smaller quantities, to buy the same tea sourced from within Indian borders that is kept on the shelf in foreign boutiques. Previously, export quality tea was unavailable to the retail customer in India. The shift in demand is one of the motivating factors behind Luxmi Estates, which owns Makaibari Tea Estate, to launch a quality enhancement and consistency drive for its new packaged teas, which the company has named, Makaibari Tea Treasures.
