    History

    The history of the Bir Tea Factory is intertwined with the development of tea cultivation in the Kangra Valley. Initially, tea cultivation was introduced by the British in the mid-19th century. The Bir Tea Factory, established later, played a vital role in processing tea leaves from nearby gardens, contributing significantly to the local economy. Over the years, the factory has adapted to modern techniques while retaining traditional methods, ensuring the quality and unique flavor of Kangra tea. Today, it stands as a testament to the region's tea-producing heritage, attracting tourists and tea connoisseurs alike. It continues to support local farmers and preserve the legacy of tea cultivation in Bir.
