ADVANCING TEA THROUGH SCIENTIFIC INNOVATION
Our integrated R&D centre spearheads innovation across plantations. Through extensive plant improvement trials, we have developed seven high-yielding tea clones and two bi-clonal seed stocks. Advanced grafting techniques has helped develop enhanced drought tolerance and quality tea clones.
BIOTECHNOLOGY, MICROBIOLOGY & PROPAGATION
Our advanced micropropagation and tissue culture research enables large-scale cultivation of tea, spices, and ornamentals. Combined with microbiology studies that promote beneficial organisms, these innovations support healthier crops and stronger genetic diversity
Nurturing the Land That Nurtures Our Tea
We nurture our soil, water, and environment through science-led practices that restore the earth, prevent degradation, and safeguard biodiversity
Natural Soil Enrichment
Healthy soil starts with nature. Through vermicomposting, bio fertilizers, and organic waste recycling, we enrich the earth to support robust plant growth and long-term fertility.
Vermicompost refined for nursery and field use Biofertilizers strengthen root systems naturally.
Agro-waste converted into nutrient-rich organic manure.
Microbial Support Systems
Beneficial organisms such as Trichoderma viride are mass-cultivated to naturally enhance plant resistance, improve soil health, and reduce reliance on synthetic inputs.
Trichoderma viride: Large-scale multiplication for natural benefits
Pest & disease protection: Reduces soil-borne threats
Plant vitality: Promotes healthier growth through microbial balance.
Eco – Smart Conservation
Vetiver Grass Technology safeguards our plantations from soil erosion and conserves water, maintaining hillside stability while preserving the natural contours of the estate.
Soil & water conservation: Vetiver grass stabilizes slopes
Reduced erosion: Effective even in high-rainfall zones
Sustainable land management: Integrated across the estate
Precision Soil Monitoring
The Soil Map Project monitors fertility across our estates, guiding precise field decisions so every plot gets exactly what it needs to flourish. what it needs to thrive.
Estate-wide monitoring: Tracking soil fertility consistently
Optimized yield: Field adjustments enhance consistency and productivity
Excellence Through Innovation And Assurance
Our dedication to quality, safety, and innovation is guided by rigorous research, precise monitoring, and globally recognized standards
Quality Assurance & Compliance
Each product undergoes rigorous testing against global standards to ensure purity and consistency. Our laboratories validate agricultural inputs and ensure compliance with all regulatory and MRL norms.
Product Innovation & Development
Ongoing R&D trials enable the development of improved variants, value-added products, and advanced processing techniques. Innovation drives higher yields, superior quality, and market-ready solutions.
Certifications & Sustainable Standards.
Our processes are aligned with NABL Accredition, QMS, Rainforest Alliance, and Trustea. Each certification reflects our commitment to ethical, safe, and sustainable production practices.
