The word Nilgiri translated, means Blue Mountain and blue they are. They are the most spectacular and picturesque mountain range in South India where tea is grown at elevations ranging from 1000 metres to above 2500 metres. These exotic teas have the right balance of strength, colour and astringency to satisfy the needs of tea drinkers ranging from the layman to the connoisseur. Nilgiri teas produce bright and brisk liquors and they do not cloud. Our teas are selected from some of the best estates in the highest situated regions of Southern india. The Nilgiri has always been referred as the Blue Mountains. The characteristics offer a delicate & aromatic cup with a hint of sweetness. It also makes an excellent choice for preparing Iced Tea. Nilgiri Teas can be had straight without milk or cream & a dash of sugar or honey to taste.
Nilgiri, literally translated, means the Blue Mountains, where the Kurunji Blue Flowers bloom once every 12 years, making the mountain range completely blue. A land of peaks, precipices and dense forests with a variety of wildlife. The most magnificent specimen is the elephant, which roams in herds and against this idyllic background, thef amous ‘Nilgiri Teas’ are grown.
