History of Pussimbing Tea Estate

Pussimbing Tea Estate has a history dating back to the early 1900s almost similar in time when this Lohia tea group was making a foray into tea business in the 1916s.

The name Pussimbing is derived from a local dialect (Lepcha) which means ‘an area enclosed with plenty of streams’, and suitably so, as it is combed by a myriad of sparkling fresh water streams snaking down the hilly slopes of the tea estate.
