We partner with Nuxalbari Tea Estate, which provides safe haven for elephants in the region. We just received this note from Sonia Jabbar, owner of this tea farm in Darjeeling District, India:

“Yesterday, the Forest Dept. staff drove this herd of around 32 elephants out of Tukriajhar Forest. Chased by villagers, they ran into Nuxalbari and visibly relaxed once they entered. Our security was ready and safe passage ensured. But the elephants did not run further. They stayed in Section LB5E near the stream, bathing, foraging, and relaxing until 10 PM. We watched from afar, delighting in the antics of the babies under the moonlight. Then they moved out to our eastern boundary into UCC Forest.”

We proudly import teas from Nuxalbari Teas and support their good work. In fact, when you buy one of our Earl Grey teas (such as Earl Grey Blue) or other flavored black blends, you support Nuxalbari Tea and their work to create a safe haven for elephants. We encourage you to use this consumer power to forward the work Nuxalbari Tea Estate does for elephants.

Looking for more tea that directly supports elephants in India? Try our Darjeeling Shanti Hathi, Peaceful Elephant black tea, or Darjeeling District Green, both single origin teas from Nuxalbari.
