Arcadia Tea Estate of Doon Valley
was established in 1860 near Prem Nagar Dehradun. Dehradun tea garden
plantation work was done by Britishers from the imported tea plants from China
that were at that time famous for their flavor, aroma, and also medicinal
quality.
During the golden period of the Dehradun tea garden, Dehradun tea was on top of Assam and Darjeeling. Current time areas Vasant Vihar, Rajendra Nagar, Kargi, Panditwadi, and Harbanswala were all once tea gardens.

handling of tea gardens goes to the hand of Zamindars, tea gardens lose their
quality.
