'''Phuguri Tea Estate''' is a [[Tea garden (cultivation)|tea garden]] in the [[Mirik (community development block)|Mirik]] [[Community development blocks in India|CD block]] in the [[Mirik subdivision]] of the [[Darjeeling district]] in the [[India]]n state of [[West Bengal]].

==History==
Dr. Camphbell was posted as a civil surgeon at Darjeeling in 1839. At that time there were hardly 20 families living in the entire hill tracts. In 1841, Dr. Camphbell brought China tea seeds from Kumaon Hills and planted them in his garden. The success of the initial efforts led the government to go for commercial development of tea gardens. Tea estates, with seeds from government nurseries, were developed at Tukvar, Steinthal and Aloobari. These were followed by other gardens.<ref name="thunderbolt">{{cite web | url = https://www.thunderbolttea.com/te/darjeeling-tea/ | title= Your Ultimate Guide to Darjeeling Teas, the Champabne of Teas| work= 8. History of Darjeeling Tea| publisher= Thunderbolt Tea |access-date = 19 March 2020}}</ref>

Dr. Campbell's primary problem was to draw settlers to that uninhabited region. He sought the help of a nobleman from Nepal, Dakman Rai, to bring workers and immigrants from Nepal. Dakman Rai went back to Nepal and brought back one thousand immigrants, all of whom belonged to the Gurkha or Nepalese community. In appreciation of his helpful service, Dakman Rai was given the grant of free-hold lands presently known as Soureni Tea Estate, Samripani and Phuguri Tea Estate. The last named tea estate was set up in 1880.<ref name="thunderbolt"/>

Phuguri Tea Estate is presently owned by the Bagaria Group.<ref name="teaboutique">{{cite web | url = https://www.darjeelingteaboutique.com/phuguri-tea-estate/ | title= Phuguri Tea Estate | publisher= Darjeeling Tea Bouquet |access-date = 19 March 2020}}</ref><ref name="tourism">{{cite web | url = https://www.darjeeling-tourism.com/darj_0000c6.htm | title= Darjeeling Tea Estates: N-P | work= Phuguri Tea Estate| publisher= Darjeeling Tourism |access-date = 19 March 2020}}</ref>
