G20 delegates are in for a once-in-a-lifetime experience as they participate in the moonlight tea plucking event at Makaibari, a tea estate. Set to welcome delegates from 23 countries, Luxmi Tea Group is determined to create an unforgettable encounter for international guests. With biodynamic farming practices and two-thirds of the property turned into a subtropical forest, Makaibari is not only a prime producer of aromatic brews but also a haven for diverse wildlife, including Bengal tigers and over 300 bird species.
The G20 delegates will have the chance to taste numerous tea blends, breathe in the aroma of freshly cut tea leaves, and witness the brewing process during their stay. They will also immerse themselves in local culture, music, and spirituality, enjoying activities showcasing the rich heritage of the region. The highlight of their visit is set to be the moonlight plucking event, where they will join hundreds of women workers to pick the rare tea leaves of Silver Tips Imperial under the moonlight.
Luxmi Tea Group’s MD Rudra Chatterjee said “This event will also showcase the sustainable practices adopted by Makaibari. With tea being the biggest employer in India after Railways and a unique industry where over 50% of the workforce is women, the visit to Makaibari is a chance to celebrate the backbone of the tea industry and the balance of tradition and modernity.”
