CHAKVI RESORT
During the Soviet period in Chakvi several rest houses functioned. The Research Institute of Tea and Subtropical Cultures carried out intensive work on the creation of new varieties of tea. Of the currently well-known Georgian tea varieties (more than 20 names), several of them - "Green Tea 95", "Bouquet of Georgia", as well as "Georgian I", "Georgian II" were brought out by employees of this institute.
Tea appeared in Georgia, presumably, in the second half of the XVIII century, when the Russian Empress Catherine II sent a Chinese tea set and tea leaves as a gift to the King of Kartli-Kakheti Irakli II. And the wide spread of tea culture in our country is associated with the name of Mikhail Kaikhosrovich Eristavi. At the end of the nineteenth century, the Gurian prince traveled to China, tried tea leaves there. He liked this drink so much that he decided to grow tea in Georgia. But it was strictly forbidden to export tea seeds or its seedlings from China. The prince had to put tea seeds in the tip of a cane and so smuggle them across the border. It is difficult to say whether this is true or fiction, but it is a fact that the prince began to cultivate tea in his estate, in Ozurgeti, and tried to make this culture take root on Georgian soil.
After the establishment of Soviet power, in the 20s of the twentieth century, in order to develop tea growing in Georgia, a state program was developed, according to which the leading role in this issue was assigned to the Research Institute of Tea and Subtropical Cultures in Chakvi. Dozens of tea factories were built throughout Georgia. Tea growing has become the leading branch of agriculture in the western regions of Georgia -Samegrelo, Guria, Adjara and Imereti. It is known that in the 60-70s of the twentieth century, 95 thousand tons of tea were produced in Georgia per year.

At the Research Institute of Tea and Subtropical Crops, which is located here, intensive research was carried out to create new varieties of tea. Thanks to the efforts of employees of the institute, today we know more than 20 varieties of Georgian tea, including such varieties as "Green Tea 95", "Bouquet of Georgia", "Georgian I" and "Georgian II". The history of tea in Georgia has its own unique roots. It is assumed that tea appeared in Georgia in the second half of XVIII century, when the empress Catherine II presented a Chinese tea set and tea leaves to the king Irakli II of Kartli and Kakheti. However, the wide spread and development of tea culture in Georgia is associated with Mikhail Kaihosrovich Eristavi.
At the end of the 19th century, Mikhail Eristavi, a Gurian prince, traveled to China, where he tasted real tea brew. He was so impressed by this drink that he decided to introduce the cultivation of tea on Georgian soil. However, because of strict prohibitions on exporting tea seeds or seedlings from China, the prince had to use trickery. He hid the tea seeds in the tip of his cane and smuggled them across the border that way. This is how the history of tea production at his Ozurgeti estate began, and he made every effort to ensure that tea culture took root on Georgian soil. During the Soviet period, in the 1920s, a state programme was developed to develop tea growing in Georgia. Under this programme, the main role in the development of the tea industry was assigned to the Tea and Subtropical Crops Research Institute, which is located in Chakvi. Dozens of tea factories were built in different regions of Georgia, such as Samegrelo, Guria, Adjara and Imereti. Tea growing became the leading branch of agriculture in Georgia's western regions. From the 1960s to the 1970s, Georgia produced about 95,000 tons of tea annually.
