Tea Farm
The Chamraj Tea Estate is nestled at 1,800-2,400m elevation in the Nilgiri Blue Mountains in southern India. The landscape is characterised by rolling slopes and hills covered in thick forests and lush meadows. The United Nilgiri Tea Estates Company prioritises not only certified organic cultivation, but also sustainable practices and fair treatment of all people at the estates from tea pickers to producers.
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.

Brewing Guide
2-3g per 100-300ml (75°C) water. Steep for 2-3 minutes. Suitable for several infusions.
Packaging
High quality, airtight, resealable standing zipper pouch with 9 protective layers to preserve flavour and protect against oxidation and contamination.
Recommended Teapot
For an especially aromatic and traditional-tasting Earl Grey, we recommend an elegant glass teapot from Hario or, alternatively, a classic porcelain teapot.
Recommended Storage
Ideally store in a quality tea caddy made from cherry tree bark (wooden, kabazaiku chazutsu) or an airtight, double-coated metal tin.
