This classic breakfast tea is characterised by its beautifully shaped, large leaves and a generous, malty richness that gives the tea its full-bodied and well-balanced structure. The flavour profile features a sweet, delicate note of paprika, balanced by a clean and light floral finish - an experience that is both refreshing and aromatically complex. Nilgiri, also known as the Blue Mountains, is a mountainous region in southern India, where the climate offers unique conditions for tea cultivation.
Unlike many other tea-producing regions, where harvesting is seasonal, Nilgiris teas can be harvested all year round. They benefit from the high altitude's variable climate, cool temperatures and rich soil, which combine to create a tea that has both depth and colour. This breakfast tea truly reflects the region's conditions, with its fine leaves and characteristically complex flavour.
