Korakundah Black

Korakundah Black

Korakundah Black tea is a premium black tea from the Korakundah Tea Estate, located in the Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu, India. This estate is one of the highest tea plantations in the world, situated at an elevation of over 8,000 feet, and is renowned for producing high-quality, organic teas with unique flavor profiles. High-altitude teas are often slower-growing, resulting in richer, more complex flavors that are appreciated by connoisseurs.
Korakundah Black has a well-rounded, smooth flavor with mild astringency. It exhibits malty, slightly fruity, and floral notes, with a hint of natural sweetness that makes it enjoyable without added sweeteners. It has a fresh, floral aroma with subtle earthy undertones, reflecting the high-altitude terroir of the Nilgiris.
Brew Korakundah Black with water just below boiling (around 200°F or 93°C) for 3-5 minutes. This brings out the tea’s full flavor without over-extracting tannins. When brewed, Korakundah Black produces a deep amber liquor with a bright, appealing hue.

As a black tea, Korakundah Black is rich in antioxidants, particularly theaflavins and catechins, which support heart health and offer protective effects against oxidative stress. With moderate caffeine content, it provides a gentle energy boost, making it a good choice for morning or afternoon tea.

Korakundah Tea Estate is known for its organic and sustainable practices. The tea is grown without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, supporting both quality and environmental sustainability. As one of India’s prominent organic estates, Korakundah has received attention in international markets. It’s especially popular in Europe, North America, and among tea suppliers focused on high-quality, ethically produced teas.
