The elite guests at the Beijing Olympics would get to savour Darjeeling tea sent by a Kolkata-based company, Makaibari Tea Estate.

Manager of Makaibari Tea Estate P K Chakrabarti told PTI that a Chinese collaborator had sought tea from its Makaibari tea garden located in Darjeeling.

Accordingly, the company had sent a consignment of 333 kilograms of Makaibari tea to China.

He said that the tea would be exclusively sampled and distributed to the VVIP guests attending the Beijing Olympics. The average price of the tea was around Rs 8,000 per kilogram.
