A Calendar by Golden Tips Tea Celebrates Darjeeling’s Iconic Sights

Golden Tips Tea, one of India’s oldest tea houses, has unveiled its annual calendar for the new year, celebrating its legacy. The calendar, themed on Darjeeling, was unveiled by Member of the Rajya Sabha, Harsh Vardhan Shringla, in the presence of Madhav Sarda, Founder of Golden Tips, at the brand’s flagship boutique at Chowrasta, Darjeeling.

Each page of the calendar unfolds a slice of Darjeeling—emerald tea estates and graceful tea pluckers, the nostalgic whistle of the Himalayan Railway, the quiet spirituality of Ghoom Monastery, and the snow-lit glory of Mt. Kanchenjunga. Iconic institutions like St. Joseph’s School, Mahakal Mandir, the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, and the Capitol Clock Tower stand alongside the elusive Red Panda and the region’s legendary sunrise.

A lively group of tea lovers, local well-wishers, government officials, and patrons of the brand came together for a photo with Harsh Vardhan Shringla and Madhav Sarda

Speaking at the launch, Shringla lauded Golden Tips for championing the heritage of Darjeeling tea and bringing global attention to the region’s artisanal craft. Sarda expressed gratitude to the community and reaffirmed the brand’s commitment to promoting Darjeeling’s legacy through thoughtful initiatives such as this annual calendar.
