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.
