When one thinks of tea gardens in Bangladesh, Sylhet or Srimangal often comes to mind, with their rolling hills and lush greenery. However, the unique charm of tea gardens in the plains can be discovered in Panchagarh, the northernmost district of the country. Here, an organic tea garden thrives, cultivating exclusive organic and Darjeeling varieties, especially in Tentulia, which has gained international recognition.
The journey from Panchagarh to Tentulia spans about 35 kilometers, with notable estates like Kazi and Kazi Tea Estate and Dahuk Tea Estate dotting the landscape. A beautiful paved road leads through vast greenery, where women pick tea leaves, their white bags slung over their shoulders.
As evening falls, the tea gardens transform into a magical realm. The moonlight dances on the leaves, and fireflies create a whimsical atmosphere, making it feel like a fairytale country, enchanting visitors with its serene beauty.
