Introducing the 2025 Nilgiri Highland Green. This is the tea which started our Nilgiri exploration journey back in 2020, we are happy to report that they still keep on making a little better every year! Made from their in house GW1 cultivar, this is one of the most unique green teas available in India.
The dry leaf smells floral with a hint of mango, when placed on the heated teaware, you can notice a milky sweetness. On your first sip, you notice the buttery sweetness along with a touch of savory feeling. On further sips, you can taste strawberries. There is an armenian cucumber note too, making the liquor extremely refreshing. As you sip further, you can experience more fruity notes of green grapes. There is a hint of floral notes too, particularly yellow flowers but it is hard to pinpoint. The creamy and butter note make the liquor feel even silkier, making for a beautiful sipping experience. We are sure you will enjoy this green tea a lot, whichever way you brew it!
