Niligiri Leaf Tea are famous for their exceptional blend of fragrance, energy and make an extraordinary base for ice tea. Nilgiri Orthodox tea is register as geographical indication.
Our description of Niligiri Leaf Tea is that it is a light, sweet aromatic tea that is perfect to drink without milk and can be enjoyed throughout the day.
However, we also appreciate it is possible to source stronger or milder teas that can still be called Nilgiris teas and the source we use is based on the tastes of my Father and Grandfather.
Whilst this description hopefully goes somewhere to explaining the wide variety of description of Nilgiri tea. The truth is there are wide variations on the same theme depending on where and who one buys ones tea from.
We purchase Nilgiri GBOP (Golden Broken Orange Pekoe) from Havakaul, Glendale and Tiger Hill Estates. So the flavour of our Nilgiri is light, sweet and aromatic.
We are exporter of Nilgiri’s Tea and TANTEA
