The Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu, India, produces some exceptional black teas — bright, lively and robust, with subtle fruit notes. This Single Estate Premium Nilgiri offers high-value quality at a great price.
Nilgiri tea is particularly suited for iced teas, as the brew remains beautifully clear as it cools, unlike other black teas. We are proud of the confidence the growers have placed in us, a relationship which we were pleased to take to new heights when we used their Nilgiri tea in our signature Original Blend to win the “Best Iced Tea in America” honor.
