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.

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.
