The Makaibari tea factory was the first of its kind when it was established in 1859 by G.C Banerjee. Today Rajah Banerjee continues this proud family tradition in the fourth generation. The estate was certified organic already in 1988.The name means 'cornfield' (makai bari), a reference to its previous use - now transformed into a beautiful tea garden.
