Origin of "Handrolled Black Tea"
Handrolled Black Tea is cultivated in the picturesque Nilgiri Mountains of South India, a region celebrated for its high-altitude tea gardens and distinctive climatic conditions. Situated at elevations ranging from 1,000 to 2,500 meters, these rolling hills provide an optimal environment for producing premium black tea with unique characteristics.
The Nilgiri region has a temperate climate, with temperatures generally lower than the surrounding plains, averaging between 10°C to 25°C during summer and 0°C to 20°C during winter. The area receives substantial rainfall during both the Southwest and Northeast monsoons, averaging about 1,920.80 mm annually. This consistent precipitation, coupled with the region's cool, mist-laden mornings and crisp mountain air, slows the growth of tea leaves, enhancing their flavor complexity.
The soil in Nilgiri is characterized as lateritic loam, rich in essential minerals and organic matter, providing excellent drainage—conditions ideal for tea cultivation. This nutrient-dense terrain contributes to the tea's robust yet smooth taste, marked by a rich, savory aroma and full-bodied flavor. The combination of high elevation, fertile soil, and a balanced climate creates the perfect conditions for cultivating this exceptional hand-rolled black tea. Its high caffeine content, coupled with antioxidant richness, makes it a prized selection for tea enthusiasts seeking both quality and wellness benefits.

These boxes are absolutely amazing. A lot of the teas are unique ones that I'd never considered before, but after trying them with the pairings, they're absolutely delightful!! Each box is informative as well and the included information on which teas to drink with which snack, as well as different brewing methods and the notes on each tea are quite helpful. I also love the stickers on the snacks and teas, as they're color-coded to match: each tea has a sticker that goes with the matching colored sticker on the snacks. It's very useful to keep track!! I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a unique and fun way to experience tea with others.
