why GavaTea?
The word “gava” originates from the Badaga tribal community in the Nilgiri Hills of Southern India. “Gava” means “love” or “caring”, which perfectly describes the essence of the tribal people. Badagas are known for their unique customs, incredible hospitality and a century-long tea growing tradition. Guests are always treated with great respect and – you guessed it – a cup of chai. At GavaTea, we invite you to experience the unique culture of the Nilgiris and to share our love for its tea, land and people.
