Okayti Tea Estate belongs to the renowned Kumbhat Family who have protected the legacy of this estate and taken it forward with each generation.

The tea estate was originally called RANGDOO and was planted as early as the 1870s by the British. Teas from Rangdoo exhibited exceptional quality and a distinctive taste due to its unique soil conditions, location, and other important agro-climatic conditions. Within a short span of time, the popularity of Rangdoo teas soared in the London tea auctions and soon it came to be known as “THE ONLY OKAY TEA”. The tea estate was then rechristened to “OKAYTI TEA ESTATE”.

Okayti Tea Estate is also credited to have one of the oldest tea factories of the region dating back to the year 1888.

After all, they are the first point of call in creating this wonderful tea. It is this dedication to fine plucking of the perfect two leaves and bud which ensures the creation of this exclusive tea for Teafields.
