History of Temi Tea Garden Before the creation of this estate what existed was Sherpa Village that had ten acres of nurseries managed by the Forest Department. These nurseries surrounded the Missionary Building which served as both the office and residence for Divisional Forest Officer. During the times when India was under the British Colonial Rule, this building was a landmark site for Scottish missionaries. The Government of Sikkim got hold of it in 1954. It was in 1969 when the government converted the place into Temi Tea estate. The slopes of land are a part of Tendong hill range.
