Tales of tea. It was my first time visiting Kerala; after having lived my whole life in the neighboring state of Karnataka, India! Such beauty and greenery lies in the tea plantations of Munnar, it's surreal, peaceful and pure! The beauty of India is certainly taken for granted! Tea was brought to India by the British, and it seeped its way into Indian culture. Almost every Indian will have Chai (not chai-tea) as an early evening drink!
