Thiashola Estate is a pioneer in biodynamic agriculture and produces arguably the finest black tea in the South of India. Its multicoloured, uneven leaf is reminiscent of first flush teas in Assam. This flavourful organic tea from the Thiashola estate has bright amber leaf and cup colour and a lively refreshing flavour with notes of citrus and honey. Strong and full-bodied. Good with milk and sugar. Nilgiri, meaning 'blue mountain', refers to a mountain tea district in the south of India high above the plains where top quality teas are cultivated. The taste and freshness are reminiscent of the best Ceylon teas but typically are sweeter in the cup.

I know from having bought this before that it is delicious - and I even visited the estate when I lived in India.
I generally enjoy this in the afternoon.
Pale and enlivening
I find this tea to be lighter than the description suggests and conversely I'm not sure it is that suited to milk either - it is very light in colour and body for a black tea. Once I adapted to its style I believe it's now one of my favourites.
I did not know what to expect from this tea. I usually buy breakfast tea and darjeeling tea but curiosity won me over. So glad it did. This particular Nilgiri tea is simply delicious, full of flavour and has a beautiful colour. I find myself reaching for this first now when I want a decent brew.
Any company that keeps harassing customers, repeatedly, incessantly, for reviews when they have better things to do really doesn't deserve a good rating. I have better things to do than deal with spam emails when I did not sign up to receive them.
Hi Apologies if you have been hassled by our review company. They are completely independent of us and send emails to random customers. I will see if I can ensure you do not receive more review requests when you hopefully order more tea. Simon
