Kerala forest body to launch Atma brand tea, coffee

A company called the Kerala Forest Development Corporation grows tea and coffee on its own land in Kerala.

It is putting these drinks in packets under a new brand name called 'Atma'.

People were asked on social media to suggest names for this brand, and 'Atma' was chosen.

The Forest Minister of Kerala helped invite these name ideas.

The company already sold coffee powder before, under a different brand called 'Vanopahar'.

But this is the first time it will sell tea.

The tea is grown on a plantation in a place called Mananthavady.

The coffee comes from plantations in Nelliyampathy, Munnar and Gavi.

People will be able to buy the Atma tea and coffee from next month.
