Earl Grey for Elephants Tea
Earl Grey for Elephants is a loose leaf black tea featuring organic Italian Bergamot oil for a beautiful, refreshing, and aromatic cup. Pair it with your favorite lemon dessert, buttery shortbread, or alongside a piece of bitter dark chocolate.
About the farmer: Diverted from their traditional migration route through the Terai-Dooars belt along the Mechi river, an increasing number of elephants are finding their way onto farmland, including Sonia Jabbar's tea estate. The threat of human-elephant conflict is very real, but on the 1,200-acre Nuxalbari tea estate, they receive a warm welcome.
This is no ordinary tea estate. In a black-tea market beset with high-yield, low-value teas, Sonia is focused on quality, honoring the soil, tea bushes, trees, and community (a community that includes elephants). Sonia explains, "The elephants know how to move in between rows of tea. Had it not been so, my estate wouldn't have survived."
