while in ooty we visited a tea plantation. it was amazingly beautiful. and if you use lipton green tea tea bags then you’ve been sipping from the same tea leaves we saw.
there were tea pickers,
a monkey puzzle tree – which i thought was a made up name, but i’ve had it confirmed as authentic,
and it was a great opportunity to let our hair loose.
It is amazing to me to see such beauty as the first pic in such a poor country. Love the pics and stories starting to come!
the tea estate was amazing. the best word i could come up with to describe it was enchanting. and it was totally unexpected!
This is of particular interest to me as my associate and I purchase our speciality knitting needles (Knit Stix)from Needle Industries, (Pvt) Ltd. in Tamil Nadu. They recently sent us, as a Christmas gift, a large packet of Glenmorgan tea. They explained that this tea is grown in the high elevations and I can see by the photos that it is truly beautiful.
yes, very beautiful! and what a nice gift to receive.
