Here, finally, is tea that is concerned about preserving ecological balance and the environment.
Korakundah estate is part of the United Nilgiri Tea Estates Company Ltd., at Nilgiris, the Blue Mountains of South India.
The company grows tea here at an altitude of around 2500 metres - a factor that also greatly enhances flavour of the tea.
Korakundah tea enjoys the distinction of being the only south Indian tea sought after in the premium tea markets of Europe.
At Korakundah, we follow the rules laid down in the book when it comes to producing organic tea. Pristine streams and virgin
forests surround Korakundah, which is almost the crown of the Nilgiris. The air rings clear here and is absolutely pollution-free.
We use natural processes and organic manure untouched by chemicals. Vermiculture, nature's own way of soil enrichment, is used extensively.
Earthworms provide food for man by their beneficial effects on plant growth - aerating the soil, promoting drainage and drawing organic material
into their burrows where it decomposes faster, thus producing more nutritive materials for growing plants. For improving and preserving soil
conditions natural composts are developed on site.
