This flavorful organic tea from the Thiashola estate has bright amber leaf and cup color and a lively, refreshing flavor with notes of citrus and honey. Stronger and fuller bodied than our #332. Good with milk and sugar.
Nilgiri, meaning ‘blue mountain’, refers to a mountain tea district in the south of India, high above the plains, where top quality teas are cultivated. The taste and freshness are reminiscent of the best Ceylons, but typically are sweeter in the cup.
Recommendations: Use 1 heaping tsp. per 6 oz. cup; heat fresh water to a roaring boil; let steep for 1.5 minutes. Try with crystal sugar and milk.
