My understanding was that Darjeeling was British, and possibly Ceylon too but I'm not positive. It might be that Darjeeling tea was brought in (or not) and grown in India but still considered British because India was a major British colony. My favourite tea is Assam which is from India, usually named after the estates that it comes from, and said estates, if I remember correctly, are along the Assam River. The man who runs the tea store I go to has a map of all the estates but he doesn't carry the Banapsaty, which is the one I'm trying to find.

"Chai" in India generally just means "tea" doesn't it?
