| feral trade orange pekoe tea |
| bought from munar tea and spice shop by feral trade friend Tereza Valentova, the tea is cultivated locally on megaplantations owned by just one company so at a supply level it is difficult to personally locate a producer. While tea museums exist, both these and the local munar cafes only sell the lowest grade tea (broken or 'dust') - for the higher grades of orange pekoe you have to ask the storekeeper.
ferally traded since: 12/02/13.

| | Courier Report FER-1751 DISPATCHED: 12/02/13 DELIVERED: 18/02/13 tereza valentova I bought the tea in Munnar which is a small town surrounded by endless tea plantations, it is the hill station in South Indian state Kerala. Even though Munnar has a reputation of a 'tea land', you will not find any place where could you actually taste different types of tea - or I didn't :) Also, most of the street stalls don't sell any hot beverages after about 7 pm, which I found a bit inconvenient as Munnar is quite cold place (as a hillstation).
All tea plantations are owned by one big tea company, so it is not possible to get in touch with small local producers. I bought the tea in a shop on the main street just before I jumped on the bus to Kochi.
