Nilgiri Korakundah Estate – Organic FOP/FBOP – WS

This organic tea comes from the Korakundah Estate in the Nilgiri region of southern India. The estate, founded in the early 1900’s, sits at 8000 feet above sea level, making it one of the highest tea gardens in the world. Certified organic, fair trade, bio-dynamic and rain forest alliance, Korakundah has a strong history of producing quality teas.

This black tea is a mix of FOP (flowery orange pekoe) and FBOP (flowery broken orange pekoe) leaves with a forest, oaky aroma in the dry leaf. It brews to a golden amber cup with a smooth, sweet, slightly floral taste. A perfect all day drinking tea!
