Description

This tea comes from the mountain of Nilgiris in southern India. Although this area is in the tropics, the mountain's elevation makes for cold nights. So, the tea plant grows very slowly, and the flavor is concentrated. This tea is highly withered, lightly oxidized, and makes for a very bright, brisk cup.

Ingredients

Black tea.
