[2] The most renowned of all the gardens of the Goodricke Group is Castleton Tea Estate.

[4] Castleton Tea Estate, with a planted area of 170 hectares (420 acres), is spread over the mountain slopes of Kurseong and Pankhabari, at an altitude of 980 to 2,300 metres (3,220 to 7,550 ft) above mean sea level.

[2] The names of garden sections are loaded with nostalgic emotions about the place – Bhalu Khop is a bear cave, Jim Basha means an erstwhile manager’s domain, Dhobitar was a washerman’s clothesline and Baseri means a resting place.

The Darjeeling tea produced here has a rose like fragrance and the unique Muscatel flavour.

[7] The Goodricke Group owns five tea estates in Darjeeling: Thurbo, Badamtam, Barnesbeg, Castleton and Margaret's Hope.
