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.

Great Tea!!

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.

Afternoon treat

This is the tea my coffee-loving partner drinks every afternoon... after years of making fun of me for drinking tea. It's a liquid treat in a cup.

Green tea-lovers black tea

I mainly drink unflavored green tea, but this black tea is light but with a deep flavor. I don't know how else to say it, but I love it.

Delightfully pleasant!

One of the most aromatic, delicate and sweet blends. There hasn’t yet been anyone among my friends who has tasted this tea at my place and have not asked for it during the next visit.
