Vast stretch of tea plantations in Kerala

From the archive record

In the South of India tea is cultivated in the hilly uplands of the provinces Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu at altitudes of 800 to 2000 meters. During the dry season, around the turn of the year, this tea takes on a fine, delicate lemon flavor. It has a flavor that is lively, fresh and mild -- quite close to the "Ceylon" teas from the highlands of Nuwara- Eliya. Nilgiri tea, originally grown in the jungle, is mainly cultivated by small farmers.
