I didn't think Tea of all things would be brought into this discussion, perhaps British?

Coincidently, my ancestors lived in tea plantation estates, worked under British longer than most of my country men until the estates were bought by the Tatas and Birlas.

So here are my two cents for good tea in India - You can get good tea in plantation estates at almost any outlet, but obviously great tea like anything else is of export quality and it's fairly easy to get if you know the right person in the tea factory at the estate. Fun fact, no tea sold in the market is 100% just tea, they are the mix of tea and lot of other stuff which shall remain unknown to enjoy a good cup of tea.

So, let me plug my favorite tea place, Sancha Tea Botique. I loved them when I was still in India.
