Berinag tea

Berinag Tea estate was bought from Kedar Dutt Pant by Thakur Dan Singh Bist (also spelled "Bisht").

From the late 1900s till his death in 1964, Thakur Dan Singh Bisht sought after the tea in China, India and London.

[3] Berinag was home to one of the best tea gardens in the country until the late Thakur brother, Dan Singh Bisht died.

[7] In his book Footloose in the Himalaya, William McKay Aitken describes the label with an advertisement that states "Berenag Tea Revives You."

Beneath tree snow peaks runs the long factory building mat Chaukori complete with a red tin roof.

In 1827, Dr Royale requested to the government that the vast land of Kumaon, where there is no farming being done, should be given to Europeans for tea gardening.

Lord Baton, commissioner of Kumaon & Garhwal, issued orders that the hilltops with suitable climatic conditions may be given to British free of cost.

His tea was admitted by unprejudiced Bhotia traders to be far superior to the Chinese article imported into Western Tibet via Lhasa.
