On the morning of my seventh day in Kerala, I headed up to the world’s highest-elevated tea plantation, Kolukkumalai. Come along with me as my boy Ebbin and I catch a beautiful, early-morning sunrise there and enjoy some south India tea and fermented rice at the highest organic tea plantation in the world!
My seventh day in Kerala began at the Dream Catcher Resort in Munnar at three in the morning. Today, I’d be heading up to Kolukkumalai, the highest organic tea plantation in the world at 7,900 feet above sea level! We drove one hour to the Surianalle Estate, and then took a 45-minute Jeep ride up a crazy rough road to make it in time to see the sunrise!
The sunrise over Kolukkumalai was incredible. We were so high up that the clouds were far below us! We could see all the colors-reds, oranges, blue, and more. We ran over to the other side of the mountain, were the sunrise would occur. It was incredible! As the sun rose, the clouds started disappearing.
Then, we headed back down the mountain with our minds set on breakfast: tea and fermented rice in Kolukkumalai. We still had a 45-minute drive to get down there. They make the best tea in South India, and it costs 100 rupees/$1.32 USD per head to enter the factory, though the tea they serve you is free.
There, I tried some amazing, sugary black tea with a cone-shaped appam served in a leaf. It was like a sweet, steamed cookie with jaggery and spices.
Then, we headed toward the 100-year-old factory. Along the way, I tried a tea leaf growing nearby. It was nice and different from processed tea!
Inside the factory, we saw the store room, dryers, and the machines that grind and sort the tea leaves. Then, we visited the fermenting room and the firing room, where the fire helps dry the leaves. Then, we saw the machine that turns the dried leaves into powder.
Then, we went inside the 100-year-old factory. It looked super old, and the plantation is
tea comes to a machine that turns the dried leaves into powder.
Back outside, we checked out the punching machine, which is a bell you ring to make the employees come to duty, and then I bought some tea for 130 rupees/$1.72 USD.
Then, it was breakfast time! We’d have fermented rice, fried and dried chilies, dried fish, and yogurt. The dried and fried chili was really earthy and wasn’t spicy at all. It fell apart in my mouth! Then, I tried the fish, which contained the same spices as the chili. It was really light, dense, and felt like a sardine. It was really salty, dry, and peppery, though, but I liked it a lot! The fish was chewy but chewable.
Then, we were served some soupy fermented rice with wild gooseberry pickles, chilies, dried fish, and yogurt. I started by drinking the soup, which was really light and sour. Then, I tried the rice with the yogurt and pickle, which was really nice. The combination with the salty fish was such a nice contrast!
I took a bite of another chili, followed by some of the rice. The fermented rice was very different, flavor-wise, and starchy. The chili was a nice palate cleanser. With the fish, it’s like you’re getting spice and salt with the rice with the yogurt and pickle. It’s a nice contrast! I could tell the rice would get even more sour like toddy if it fermented for another day.
What an amazing meal in the middle of nowhere in Tamil Nadu!
I hope you loved coming with me to have south India tea and fermented rice in the world’s highest organic tea plantation!

Never seen roads and streets this clean in India. Let me say that the civic and traffic sense of our south Indian brothers is much much better than here in north India.
Thanks
I wish a day come in my lifetime when my entire
country is clean and devoid of litter
@@Obelix5658 agree but kerala road are bumpy north indian road are good but dirty as over population and if we keep our road clean in north india its better no hate i love tamil and kerala nice green fresh air relatively less population

You been to different parts of India and had authentic food. What you say about Indian food culture? What is your take away? I followed all videos you did here n I see you started loving n respecting our food. U stared eating with you hands with ease. Its now time for you to explore about the ingredients? There values? There benefits? Herbs? Medical values? Seasonal recipies and why they have in particular season? How they improve immunity? Hope to see you, love eating pan.

Tamil called palamsooru very common breakfast for farmers in south indian region ( including Sri Lanka) I enjoyed this video very much.
Why you love india sir ?
Why is there a North and South India when there aren't East and West.
Language differences and the racial difference...north indians are mostly aryans whereas south indians are Dravidians

Waoo

It's cold
Nice videos 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏😘😘😘
Curd rice I think you called fermented rice.
No I think it is fermented rice.. We call it pazham Kanji here in kerala, which is leftover rice soaked in water overnight.
Curd rice is the fresh one , but in this vdo they correctly showing fermented rice which is the soaked overnight. which we have in Odisha and call it as Pakhala, in Kerala we call it as pazham kanji and Tamilnadu we call as pazheya sadham. Every where eating style for this dish is different and with different side dishes.
Please don't think, leave the thinking to people who can actually think.
Oh, got it,thank you
The panorama, and the Terra of kerala is so.... Good, but the food is non edible, wiered.
Did you say leopard mouth is delicious 😕
Hate u David :-) Miss my country and my state.. totally locked in lock down :-(
The rise water is not good we can understand from ur expression but ur telling like it's too good
it's very good but he eat the whole fish which is very salty sometimes
Bro u sty Kerala don't go ours country 🤣🤣😍
I think u dont like pickle 😂😂😂
No street lights in communist Kerala. Relying in God's only light head light. Nature is aplenty people are religiously courteous, food is natural from mother's kitchen. Sun is smelling in green Valley in Vanice of the East. What more any tourists require. 👍💯.
I like your videos. And you
Pagol
Tea fans hit like here...😁❤️
Kerela city not good
Munnar's elevation is approx 5,026 feet above sea level, whereas Temi Tea Garden (Sikkim) is at 7,200 feet......Munnar is certainly not the highest elevated tea plantation in the world.....
@@jismonjames6742👏👏
So, how would you like you Humble pie? With potato or with maach?
This is Kolukkumalai tea plantation at 7900 ft above sea level. All it takes is a simple Google search.

That breakfast dish of rice gruel is one of the healthiest breakfast you could possibly have
Ajay Varma yes so good! Loved it with the dried chili’s
Its like pro biotic break fast. costs a fortune in groceries.
Ajay Varma entchannelonnusupportcheyumo
