Organic Nilgiri
Couldn't load pickup availability
Nilgiri is from the southern part of India and although less well-known than the Assam and Darjeeling regions in northern India, it produces a medium-body, brisk tea that is considered 'forgiving' and is enjoyed by millions as their daily cup. Nilgiri teas can be enjoyed as is without the addition of milk, sugar or lemon. They are not as strong as Assams and not as mild or floral as Darjeelings. They are the recommended tea of choice for flavored blends as well as Iced Teas in the summer.
Our Nilgiri is from Kundalay Estate, Certified Organic. This is a FBOP leaf style with whole leaf mixed with some broken leaf. It can be over-steeped without leading to bitterness.
My friends and I have decided to drink organic tea. The understanding being that which you consume a lot of should be organic. Finally found a Nilgiri which is organic and tasty, with milk (of choice) or just plain.
What a great decision - to drink Organic Tea. And you are right, finding an Organic Nilgiri with enough body that can tolerate a splash of milk is not easy. And you can oversteep this - it won't get bitter. Thanks for your comments - we appreciate it and it helps other customers decide whether to add this to their order.
I’ve been looking for an excellent organic iced tea that stands out. I’ve found it!! This tea has a full body taste that is very pleasant with no negative after taste. We love this tea!! Thank you!!
Glad you are enjoying this! We've offered this tea in various leaf styles and all of them work perfectly as an iced tea. Nilgiris are known to be non-clouding and not too overpowering in taste and also easy to steep.

What a creative blend featuring chai! The cardamom and ginger spice layered with the subtle sweetness of the chocolate round out this chai in a way that only makes perfect and absolute sense. It truly is a testament to Silver Tips’ magic in curating their blends. An absolute treat for fall!
What can I say! My friend who also grew up local to Silver Tips recommended this as her favorite blend from Silver Tips. The blue flowers in this make this so special and beautiful. An absolutely breathtaking London Fog this makes for, too!! Fantastic as a cold brew tea for those of us sensitive to the caffeine levels of hot tea. Please continue making this for as long as you can!
This is a sensational offering from Silver Tips and is a testament to the reverence with which the and their partners craft their teas. I’ve never tried form this estate before and it is a beautifully bodied black tea. Thank you!
Thank you Silver Tips for this broken black tea resort on the wonderfully classic breakfast blend! It has become a staple and actually makes for a wonderful cold brew tea for those of us sensitive to the caffeine levels of hot black tea. Also love adding maple syrup & milk for the experience of being in the gorgeous northeast! I am thankful to experience your offerings from afar!
Thank you Silver Tips, Anupa & the team that makes this phenomenal blend possible!! Growing up I was local to Silver Tips and it is an immense privilege to be able to experience their offerings once again through their online shop after moving. This makes for a sensational cold brew tea with a subtle yet potent and steady caffeine boost throughout the day— this is my daily tea now! I have been brewing 2 tablespoons per quart of cold filtered water in the fridge nitty for 12-16 hours, depending on the strength you like, in a mason jar filter (you can also brew loose, just strain the water after). The vanilla flavoring paired with the black tea addition makes this one of a kind. The aroma is wonderful. Thank you so so much!! I hope you can continue offering this blend for years to come!
Silver Tips teas are always if the finest quality
I have only bought cheap teas off the A word and I am very upset with myself for never trying you till now. This is the best tea I have ever tasted hands down
This is my all time favorite tea. It smells and tastes wonderfully.
This has become a favorite after receiving a free sample and then ordering some more, which is now all gone! Some chai with clove in it is overwhelmed by that strong flavor, but here the balance is perfect. There is a hint of clove if I look for it, and the pepper is pleasantly noticeable. A nice addition on my tea shelf beside the original Silver Tips chai.
A lovely, medium body tea, good any time of day!
Every time I need the best service and the best tea recommended by the most caring and knowledgeable person, I call Silver Tips and the owner takes care of me herself...Truly a Delight!!
delicious hot or cold
Excellent! High end tea! Lingering taste! Superior tea
Perfect flavor combination I order this tea over and I we again!
This tea is amazing, refreshing, clean and crisp. I absolutely love it. Since first tasting it a few months ago I've been having 2 to 3 giant sized tea cups (12 to 14 ozs.) a day. I still have about 1/4 of a 16 oz bag left but I am going to order more today because I do NOT want to run out of it. It is great hot or cold though I personally find it very cooling to drink it iced especially with the three digit temperatures we are having this summer. I'd give it more than five stars if I could.
