They need more time and resources to brand and market limited quantities of unique teas such as Khalap, an ancient Nagaland tea. The Naga tribe picks wild leaves to pack in hollowed bamboo before aging in smoke. Khalap is in demand locally along the Myanmar border with India, one example of several boutique teas in collections curated by Poorvi Chordia at Herbs & Kettles. Poorvi is an educator, tea sommelier, and avid traveler. An online retailer of teas worldwide, Herbs & Kettles specializes in loose-leaf teas sourced directly from Indian farms they know. Herbs & Kettles contributes to the Prameya Foundation’s Red Panda Conservation Initiative to preserve endangered wildlife, prevent poaching, and restore habitat in the Singalilia National Park in Darjeeling, West Bengal.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
