Organic Nilgiri Black Tea
A bright, smooth South Indian black tea—clean aroma, balanced body, and a crisp finish that’s easy to drink.
Overview
Organic Nilgiri Black Tea comes from the Nilgiri mountains of South India and is loved for its clean, aromatic profile and naturally smooth character. Compared to heavier breakfast black teas, Nilgiri is often brighter and lighter on the palate—yet still satisfying.
This is a versatile black tea that works beautifully as an everyday cup, and it’s also a wonderful option for iced tea thanks to its crisp finish.
Origin
The Nilgiri region sits at higher elevations in South India, where cool mountain air and misty conditions help produce fragrant, lively teas. Nilgiri teas are known for their clarity, brightness, and smoothness.
Organic cultivation supports a clean leaf profile and highlights the tea’s natural aroma.
