With its fresh floral aroma and complex flavor, the bright amber-gold cup of this early 2025 ‘Winter Frost’ Nilgiri black tea is the perfect way to welcome a feeling of spring. The aroma is redolent with notes of butter cookie, sweet summer corn, and spring wildflowers. A smooth mouthfeel embroiders a creaminess across the layers of flowers, honey, corn silk, and hay, complemented by a vegetal undertone. The sleek finish lingers with an enveloping sweetness. With a flavor profile very similar to a first flush Darjeeling, this outstanding selection is a staff favorite.

Good color and strength for a hearty cup. Takes milk very well.

A thick, satisfying mouthfeel enhances layers of cocoa, spice, and dried fruit sweetness in the dark russet-amber liquor. The brisk finish lingers on a bittersweet note. This exceptional-value tea is an ideal choice for enjoying with a splash of milk, if desired.
