My tea collection




This is my tea collection.
I like Kanan Devan Hills Plantations Company's ( KDHP ) tea. They have an exotic collection of teas that are available for online purchase in addition to their depot sales all over Munnar, Kerala, the famous hill station. I have already blogged about Munnar, a famous tourist attraction nestled among the Nilgiri Hills of the Western Ghats.




 
       










They have some Organic varieties too.
The Purple colored one is Ripple premium Rose tea which I bought this time. It is awesome !
All these varieties are priced reasonably. I bought some of their teas when I visited there last year and thereafter I began buying many more from them. Prompt and efficient customer service; things arrive by courier smoothly. Last week I visited Lulu mall and I was overjoyed to see some of their teas on their shelves too.




















I have already outlined the health benefits of tea in general and specifically green tea in my earlier posts.

Tea or Coffee ? I enjoy both :)

Check the following links for more info about this and Munnar.

Ladies' finger, organic cultivation at home

 

My 100th post...!😊

This is my second post about Okra / Bhindi / Vendakkai / Ladies finger cultivation at home organically.

This variety is different from what I have cultivated before. This is giant sized elephant tusk shaped ladies finger popularly known as 'Anakkomban Venda', in Malayalam, our local language.
I ate the ones plucked today raw! Yummy!

Happy Republic day, India

The Constitution of India came into effect on 26th January 1950 and India celebrates Republic day on the 26th of January every year.

Today we celebrated the 67th Republic day! 

The main celebration takes place at Rajpath, in New Delhi, the capital city of India before the President of India. Our Prime minister and all other dignitaries will be present and before them the Army, Navy, Air force wings, paramilitary, allied and related troops parade. There will be numerous tableau from different States and Ministries. Military hardware also will be on display.

The Chief guest this year was Mr. Francois Hollande, the President of France.

There was live telecast of the event by Doordarshan, our national TV. Their coverage was excellent! Their camera layout was awesome! They have uploaded the same on Youtube as well.

What I liked most was the Motorcycle acrobatic display by Corps of Signals, the parade of the Camel contingent about which Google doodled today and the brilliant display of the Indian Airforce flypast!

French troops participated in the parade. This is the first time a foreign country is allowed to participate in Republic Day parade, a historic event!

Happy Republic day!
