tata tea has a marketing office right in the middle of munnar town ( not much of a town though ) . walk in, and let one of those friendly chaps help you zero in your type of tea leaf.

you will also get some excellent strawberry preserves there...

Yes..it is really a nice place and the strawberry jam is delicious! But the tea is just great!
