The tea has been bought by Chattarsingh Narendra Kumar for his client, Absolute Tea.
It should be noted that Bihani mentioned that these teas being sold for such high prices do not indicate the real picture of the tea industry in present times. However, the industry should appreciate these producers who are making this kind of specialty tea to make a name for the India tea industry in the world.
