Korakundah is one of the highest tea estates in the world — located within the Chamraj Tea Estate in the Nilgiris at approximately 2,400 metres, this extreme altitude creates growing conditions so exceptional that Korakundah is recognised as one of India’s finest organic teas.

At 2,400 metres, tea plants grow under intense UV radiation, dramatic temperature swings between day and night, and minimal oxygen. The result: leaves with extraordinary compound concentration — polyphenols, catechins, and aromatic oils at levels that lowland estates cannot achieve. Korakundah tea is what happens when the Blue Mountains gives everything it has to a single cup.

  • 🏔️ 2,400 Metres — One of the World’s Highest Tea Estates — Extreme altitude creates growing stress that concentrates antioxidant compounds, aromatic oils, and natural sweetness beyond any lower-elevation equivalent.
  • 🌿 100% Certified Organic — No synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilisers. The pristine Nilgiris biosphere environment produces the tea; the certification confirms it.
  • 🎋 25 Convenient Dip Bags (2g each) — The heritage estate quality in a convenient format for home, office, and travel. No loose leaf preparation needed.
  • ✨ Bright, Brisk, Naturally Sweet — The extreme altitude produces a cup with exceptional clarity, natural sweetness, and clean finish that makes Korakundah immediately recognisable.
  • 💊 Richest Antioxidant Profile in the Range — The altitude-concentration effect on polyphenols and EGCG is maximised at 2,400 metres. This is the most antioxidant-dense tea OotyMade offers.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Korakundah different from other Nilgiris teas in OotyMade’s range?
Altitude. At 2,400 metres, Korakundah is grown significantly higher than most Nilgiris estates (which average 1,500–2,100 metres). This extreme altitude produces a measurably different compound profile — more antioxidants, more natural sweetness, more aromatic intensity. It is India’s finest organic tea for a reason.

Are the tea bags biodegradable?
Please check the current packaging specifications at the time of purchase. OotyMade sources from Chamraj who maintain responsible packaging practices.

Is this suitable as a corporate or premium gift?
Yes — the Korakundah name is respected in premium tea circles. The organic certification and extreme altitude story make this an impressive gift for discerning recipients.

Why Nilgiris Tea is Different

The Nilgiris — India's Blue
Mountains — grows tea at 6,000 feet above sea level, where the combination of
cool temperatures (15–20°C year-round), two annual monsoons, and mineral-rich
volcanic soil creates growing conditions found nowhere else in India.

At this altitude, tea plants
grow more slowly. Slower growth concentrates the natural compounds —
polyphenols, catechins, aromatic oils — that give Nilgiris tea its
characteristic brightness, natural sweetness, and clean, clear liquor.

What makes OotyMade's tea range
unique is traceability. We source from named estates — Kannavarai, Homewood,
Darmona, Homedale, Silver Oak — so you know exactly which garden your tea comes
from. No anonymous blends. No imported material. Just the Blue Mountains.

All teas are packed fresh at source and dispatched within 48 hours of
your order.



Brewing Guide:

How to Brew the Perfect Cup

 FOR MILK CHAI
(Traditional Indian Method):

1. Add 200ml water to a saucepan
and bring to boil

2. Add 1 heaped teaspoon (3–4g)
of tea powder

3. Simmer for 2–3 minutes on
medium heat

4. Add 50–75ml full-fat milk

5. Simmer for 1 more minute

6. Add sugar to taste, strain,
and serve immediately

 

FOR BLACK TEA
(Plain, Without Milk):

1. Heat water to 90–95 degrees
Celsius (just below boiling)

2. Add 1 teaspoon tea powder per
200ml

3. Steep for 2–3 minutes maximum

4. Strain immediately into your
cup

5. Add lemon or honey if desired
— never milk with black tea

 

FOR ICED TEA:

1. Brew double-strength (2
teaspoons per 200ml)

2. Steep for 3 minutes

3. Strain directly over a glass
full of ice

4. Add lemon slices and honey

Nilgiris tea stays crystal clear when iced — no cloudiness.



Freshness and Storage

Freshness, Storage and Shelf
Life

 SHELF LIFE: 12–18 months from
packing date when stored correctly.

All tea is packed fresh at
source and vacuum-sealed or airtight-sealed before dispatch.

 STORAGE: Store in an airtight
container in a cool, dry place away from:

— Direct sunlight (degrades
chlorophyll and antioxidants)

— Moisture (causes mold and
off-flavors)

— Strong odours (tea absorbs
surrounding aromas rapidly)

— Heat above 30 degrees Celsius

 

BEST PRACTICE: Transfer to a
ceramic or glass airtight container on receipt.

A dedicated tea tin stored in a
kitchen cabinet is ideal.

 

SIGNS OF FRESHNESS: Fresh Nilgiris
tea has a bright, clean aroma on opening.

If the aroma has faded
significantly, the tea is past its prime — though still safe to consume.

 

DISPATCH: All OotyMade teas are dispatched within 48 hours of order
confirmation.
