Cultivated high in the southwestern area of the "blue" Ghats mountains of southern India. In the hills of the Nilgiris district, of Tamil Naudu,and further south in Kerala state. It produces more cups of tea; per measure because of the careful hand processing. (unlike cheaper grades of tea, that are machine processed) Nilgiri Premium fulfills its promise of being very aromatic, smooth tasting, with a deep golden color. This whole leaf, organic tea is delightfully Supeior!! (100 grams/3.5 ounces)
