Palar tea was started with one commitment, to offer specialty teas grown without any synthetic chemicals and pesticides which are hygienically crafted in small batches at our mini tea factory. Our tea garden is located in the Palar Village of Idukki district of Kerala in the serene cardamom hills of southern Western Ghats at an elevation of 1100 meters above the MSL (approximately 3600 ft). All our teas are handpicked to ensure the most premium quality we can offer. We practice zero budget natural farming techniques in our farm to keep the plants healthy, soil rich and support biodiversity in our farm.
About our orthodox leaf black tea – Made from handpicked two leaves and a bud, our orthodox black leaf teas are bold in taste and rich in body. We process our teas in small batches with precision under an experienced tea maker to ensure every stage of tea making right from picking the right tea leaves to withering, rolling, fermentation and drying is carefully monitored to get the best flavour our land and our region has to offer.
