Art for tea’s sake and tea for Tamilians…

As part of its latest brand initiative, TATA Tea Chakra Gold, the second largest tea brand in South India, has created a massive sand art installation celebrating Tamil Nadu’s iconic state pride elements at VGP Beach, Chennai. The effort is part of the brand’s commitment to celebrate Tamil Nadu’s regional pride and continue to be an integral part of the Tamil way of life.

The state is synonymous with excellence and achievements across different spheres of life, and is underpinned by Tamilians’ unique code of conduct- being process-oriented and celebration of perfection. Tata Tea Chakra Gold too continues to strive and remain a hallmark of the perfect cup of tea, says the company statement.
