History

In 1650, the first tea production began in China. Drinking tea was one of the seven tasks of the daily life of the intellectuals of the country. About 200 years later, in 1849, the first tea production started in the subcontinent in Sylhet.[4] The British and Bangladeshis became accustomed to tea.[5] Tea cultivation in the subcontinent originated from the Malnicherra tea garden in Sylhet. Malnicherra has been operated by many English, Pakistani and Bangladeshi merchants and has been privately owned since 1988.[5] When former US Ambassador Harry K. Thomas passing through the garden path, he said that the world is so beautiful that it is impossible to understand without seeing the Malnichhera garden.[6] Thousands of national and international tourists visit the tea garden every day.[7]
