hen we arrived at Makaibari, it was stunning. Makaibari is admittedly, and certified, the best tea garden in the world. Makaibari, the first tea garden and factory set up outside China by a Bengali princely family in 1859, just two years after the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857.

We had been sent to Darjeeling by the WWF Eastern Regional Centre for studying the use of pesticides in tea gardens. And we had been suggested that one Swaraj Kumar Banerjee, aka Rajah Banerjee, does not use pesticides at all.
