HAPPENING -- 5:


NOW, ROSE PETAL TEA FOR VALENTINE’S DAY

P S SUNDAR


As the Valentine’s Day is nearing, an innovative gift for the occasion with high-grown premium tea from The Nilgiris has been launched at Billimalai Estate, 10 kilometres from Coonoor. 



Pooja Singh Yohan, the current titleholder of ‘Mrs Nilgiris’ and G Udayakumar, Director of Avataa Beverages, launched this innovative product called ‘Rose Petal Tea’. 

Udayakumar honoured Pooja by gifting her this 'Valentine's Day Gift Box' ::



“This tea makes this year’s Valentine’s Day special because high-quality loose tea leaves are blended with natural Rose petals.   The rose tea is a healthy, tasty, fragrant, romantic beverage”, Udayakumar told me.

“Along with this, we are gifting homemade almond chocolates.  The tea and the chocolates are packed in a specially crafted red wooden box decorated tastefully with flowers, love birds, beads and bouquet.  We can send the gift box to any address given to us on www.avataatea.com or phone: 9940030156”, he explained.

“I am excited to launch this romantic gift of ‘Rose Petal Tea’ from Avataa Beverages for this year’s Valentine’s Day.  Avataa teas hold all-time high price records at auctions.   So, gifting them would mean expressing inexplicable love and value to your partner”, said Pooja Singh Yohan.



“Besides, this is an unusual way of expressing love.  Teas grown in high altitude are premium.  I am launching this at Billimalai Estate at 6,400 feet above sea level.  When such a tea is gifted, the altitude of love gets transferred with it”, she noted.
