Our Tea Selection
The planters’ range pmd’s planters range is named and built around the day of a tea planter. Tea planters wake early and start their day with a strong cup of breakfast tea before doing their rounds of the plantation. After breakfast it’s back to the field for another round of the fields or to the factory. A planter will then arrive back at his bungalow for lunch and enjoy a green tea just to settle the stomach and help digest his meal. When returning to his bungalow in the evening, he might want an aromatic pick-me-up like earl grey before sitting down for an evening drink at the planters club.
