Our organic Nilgiri black tea is a single estate tea grown at the Korakundah Estate in the Nilgiri Blue Mountains.  Harvested in the winter, this tea’s flavor is concentrated with sweet rosy notes.  High in flavonoids and rich in the amino acid L-Theanine, this tea can soothe and relax even the busiest mind.  We love this tea cold on hot days.  Our Alfalfa honey and our Clover honey are both good choices for sweetening this tea.

Pro tip:  For your iced tea, ad just a bit of hot water to a spoonful of honey in your tea glass and dissolve before adding your ice and tea.

Ingredients and Health Benefits

Organic Nilgiri Black Tea: Our Nilgiri Black Tea is crafted from high-quality, organic black tea leaves known for their bright, brisk qualities and smooth pleasing finish.  Notable in this tea’s finish are the rose notes which make this tea truly delightful both hot or iced.  These leaves are rich in L-Theanine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation without drowsiness, alongside a robust profile of antioxidants that support overall health.

Allergens:

As a note of caution, we have noticed some tea manufacturers noting there may be some overlap in production machinery with nuts.  Out of an abundance of caution, we note this on our teas. Our Organic Nilgiri Black Tea is naturally devoid of any artificial additives, ensuring a pure and safe beverage suitable for most consumers.

Serving Suggestions:

Honey Pairing:  

We love our “bolder” honeys in our black teas.  Wildflower honey is our first choice, but we also like our Alfalfa and Buckwheat honeys.  If you are a “bolder is better” kind of person, might we suggest our Avocado Blossom – its malty flavor profile combined with the maltiness of the Irish Breakfast tea will make for a unique tea experience you might just love!
