History:
The Kausani Tea Estate was established in 1920, during the British Raj, with the aim of cultivating tea in the Kumaon region. The area's favorable climate and fertile soil proved ideal for tea cultivation. After India's independence, the estate was taken over by the government and subsequently privatized. Over the years, the estate has undergone modernization and expansion, adopting sustainable farming practices to ensure the quality of its tea and the preservation of the environment. Today, the Kausani Tea Estate stands as a testament to the region's rich agricultural heritage and a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from across the globe.
