Tea Farm
Nestled at an altitude of 2400m in the Nilgiri mountains, the remote Korakundah Estate is one of the highest tea plantations in the world. The Nilgiri mountains are part of the expansive Western Ghats range that span the southernmost state of Tamil Nadu: a prominent region for tea cultivation in India.
Nilgiri means "blue mountains" which is derived from the "Neelakurinji" flower (Strobilanthes kunthiana) – an endemic violet-blue flower that blooms every twelve years. With dense forests and lush meadows, these pristine mountains are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In addition to organic and Demeter certification, the United Nilgiri Tea Estates Company is committed to sustainable tea production and fair working conditions for all employees in the fields.
Character
Flavour
An elegant Earl Grey with a touch of bitterness and walnut-like astringency. The balanced citrusy notes from organic Italian bergamot oil harmonise perfectly with the mineral qualities of the tea.

Laboratory Tests
We go to great lengths to identify the finest organic tea farms across the world’s most celebrated terroirs. All our teas are sourced directly from the farmer and, with a few exceptions, are certified organic or come from pesticide-free farms. Each batch of tea for every harvest is tested for pesticides and other pollutants in an independent German lab to ensure they meet our strict quality standards as well as HACCP food safety requirements.
