| Kazi and Kazi Tea Estate is a pioneer of organic tea plantation in Bangladesh. We are the first internationally certified organic tea estate, and we use only natural resources to control agricultural pests and weeds. Extensive soil testing was used to grow tea plants in barren flat land. In order to keep the natural organic process, we used Neem-based bio-pesticide and cow dung-based fertilizers in our farming process. In this way, we are restoring the environment and returning bio-diversity of the nature in the area. |
| Why Organic |
| KKTE began its cultivation in a barren land at Panchagarh; a land that was never used for cultivation. This eliminated any contamination of the soil with chemical pesticides from previous cultivations. Our journey has transformed the arid corners of remote Teatulia into lush greenery teeming with returning wildlife. For us, organic is our way of life. Our farmers continuously embrace the natural environment that exists in our gardens. Our land is enriched by rainwater, and our trees are shaded by innumerable herbal trees. We allow the ecosystem to control itself through a natural balance, using bio-fertilizers from organically-raised cattle. It is nature itself that makes our tea special. At Kazi & Kazi, we value this above all else. |

In order to keep the natural organic process, we use Neem-based bio-pesticide and cow dung-based fertilizers in our farming process. The land was never used for any sort of cultivation earlier, so it has never been fertilized with chemical fertilizers. It ensures being organic as it is produced using natural fertilizers; manure and farming systems which help conserve soil and water. At Kazi & Kazi Tea Estate, organic is not simply a method; it is a way of life. KK tea’s cultivation process follows the complete organic procedure.
