“Coming from Chittur Taluk in the Palakkad district of the Indian state of Kerala, this organic black tea is listed by the merchant as being one of the most unique teas in the region. I like that...” Read full tasting note
In South western India is found the state of Kerala which is comprised of 14 districts. One district, Palakkad, is home to the Poabs Estate in Chittur Taluk in the Nelliyampathy Hills. Palakkad is mainly an agricultural district and historically the main crop there was rice. In recent years, though, farmers have found it necessary to diversify their crops, so that now one can find plantations of tea, coffee, cardamom, orange, pepper and vanilla in the Nelliyampathy range. The Poabs Estate, like other places in the area, is a plantation that has varied crops. With an elevation of 3,500 feet, this organic plantation enjoys excellent climatic conditions for growing their tea and other crops.
Poabs tea pairs well with mushroom dishes, vegetable dishes, curries, and chocolate.
This organic and bio-dynamic tea is totally different in body and taste than any others that you might have tried from southern India. The long black, wiry leaves brew to an amber cup with a smooth, sweet taste. A wonderful afternoon cup!
