A Story of Biodynamic Farming, Fairtrade, and Ethical Practices - MAKAIBARI TEA

A Story of Biodynamic Farming, Fairtrade, and Ethical Practices

Nestled in the lush hills of Darjeeling, Makaibari isn’t just a name; it’s a legacy spanning over 165 years. Renowned for producing the finest organic teas, including our celebrated Silver Green, Makaibari embodies a commitment to biodynamic farming, Fairtrade certification, and ethical practices that resonate globally.

A Pioneer of Biodynamic Farming

Long before organic farming became a trend, Makaibari Tea Estate embraced biodynamic farming, a holistic agricultural method that integrates the farm as a self-sustaining ecosystem. The estate nurtures its soil with organic compost, respects natural rhythms, and creates a thriving habitat for diverse flora and fauna. This philosophy ensures that every cup of Makaibari tea is not just a sensory delight but also a gift to the environment.

Our Silver Green Tea, a jewel in Makaibari’s crown, reflects this ethos perfectly. This delicate, handpicked green tea offers a refreshing cup with grassy notes and a hint of floral sweetness. It’s not just tea; it’s an experience rooted in sustainable practices and respect for the planet.

Commitment to Fairtrade

Makaibari takes pride in being one of the first Fairtrade-certified tea estates in the world. This certification underscores our dedication to ensuring fair wages, ethical working conditions, and a better quality of life for our tea workers. Every purchase of Makaibari tea supports a system where equity and sustainability go hand in hand.

When you sip our Silver Green Tea, you’re not only indulging in a world-class Darjeeling green tea but also contributing to the empowerment of the communities who meticulously cultivate it.

Ethical Practices Rooted in Tradition

Makaibari’s commitment to ethical practices extends beyond farming. The estate’s innovative community programs focus on education, healthcare, and women’s empowerment, creating a ripple effect of positive change in the region. Our tea gardens have become a haven where tradition meets progress, ensuring that our practices benefit both the land and its people.

Makaibari’s legacy is more than just producing award-winning teas; it’s about crafting a sustainable future. By choosing Makaibari, you’re choosing to be a part of a movement that respects nature, uplifts communities, and delivers excellence in every sip.
