It does seem a little cheap for what they claim it to be. I'm sure it
is from Goomtee estate, and it says "top grade" but you could always
ask them what grade it is. Indian teas are all graded on their wacky
system, so perhaps find out what the exact grade is. Possible that
it's not really "top grade".
