Uneven colorings among the leaves. Looks like Darjeeling (oolong?), as Rajiv observed, or Nepalese.

Judging by the colour, bright green, it must be Indian Black tea.

the only things i can tell for certain about this leaf:

tho i see why the others might say darjeeling in particular and they could be right.
