   Jack Strand, owner of the home-based Strand Tea Company, is expanding his international tea-selling business. He once considered moving his operations to Sandy but now feels that the area outside the city limits is a better, and cheaper, option.

   #147For our business, the thing is downtown parking,#148 he added. #147We require a high volume of traffic in and out, and parking downtown is inadequate for that.

   Jack Strand, owner of Strand Tea Co., a retailer/wholesaler in Portland, Ore., says that because world tea prices have been so depressed, Nilgiri tea producers must work even harder to market their orthodox teas.
   ...
   But Strand says that the taste of Nilgiris is especially unique because of the lack of tannins in the tea.
   ...
   Strand explains that while some chai purists believe that the steamy, spiced beverage must be made only with bold, malty Assams, others feel that Nilgiris bring a unique taste characteristic to chai.
   ...
   Strand has had similar experience. Many of his customers won't buy Nilgiri teas because they simply are not familiar with them. "When they are fairly new, and they say they want a Ceylon-like taste without the astringency, we always recommend Nilgiris, and inevitably, they like them," he says.
