To increase productivity and improve tea quality, the old tea shrubs are being gradually replaced by new clone plants. This garden is primarily fed by rainwater, which is available for approximately 8 to 9 months of the year, with irrigation facilities extended to the areas that require them.

Darjeeling Tea cannot be grown in any other part of the world due to its ideal favourable climate and the indigenous nature of its soil and environment. The Tea Board and the Ministry of Commerce, Government of India, as well as the World Trade Organization's TRIPS Agreement, sought to protect this equity.
