Tenzing dreamed of transforming his family's paddy and vegetable farm into an organic tea farm, though he was told that growing tea organically was impossible.

Tenzing has created such an open and welcoming environment that even the elephants stop by to munch on his tea leaves, and he doesn't mind! Read on to learn more about this heart-warming spirit and the miracle he has created.
