    Anshuman Kanoria, a member of the Santosh Kanoria family, said "we have bought the two premium tea gardens of Darjeeling, Jungpana and Goomtee. Jungpana is the most premium tea of Darjeeling and fetches a very high average price realisation".

    Kanoria, also the chairman of Indian Tea Exporters Association (ITEA), said they have been buying from both the gardens for last so many years, for export purposes.

    He, however, said the Darjeeling tea industry is facing problems of labour absenteeism, change in climate and also the loss of first flush last year due to the lockdown, which affected the second flush.

    According to Kanoria, the Jungpana produce will mostly be exported and also sold through the e-commerce route.
