A little about: Nilgiri TeaThe Nilgiri Hills, or Blue Mountains, lie in south west India and extend from the states of Kerala to Tamil Nadu. It was established as a tea growing area in 1835. Having two monsoons there are two flushes each year tea with picking in December and March. Nilgiri has a special fragrant flavour more akin to a Ceylon than to either a Darjeeling or an Assam. Nilgiri tea is bright, smooth and mellow with a flavoury liquor.  |
