On his first trip to Asia in 1996, Mike visited many tea estates. Chamraj was a very distinctive one, with a rhythmic rise and fall of brilliant green tea fields punctuated by lots of lovely flowers. He has kept his eyes open for tea from Chamraj ever since. This tea is representative of teas from Nilgiri and is a sister estate to Korakundah.
