Bright and flavorful, Nilgiri teas offer a clean and smooth flavor. Nestled among the mountains at the southern tip of India, the district of Nilgiri is situated at the ideal altitude for tea bushes. These flavorful teas are excellent with the addition of a little milk. Because of the unique geographical location of the Nilgiri district, there are two plucking seasons that fall in between the Indian monsoons. Our loose leaf Nilgiri black teas are available in both conventional and organic varieties.

Nilgiri Frost Black Tea
