The Tao of Tea, Organic Nilgiri Blue Tea, Loose Leaf Tea, 3.5 Oz Tin

Full-bodied, smooth texture with a slightly woody and fruity flavor. The Nilgiris, or Blue Mountains, are a range of mountains in the South Indian states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Tea culture is eminent in these serene mountains. Tea is grown at elevations of 1,000 to 2,500 metres. The landscape is quite unlike the rest of India, marked by rolling hills covered with dense vegetation and tea gardens. Many portions of the hills are preserved as natural reserve forests. Nilgiri Blue is a high elevation tea grown at 6,500 feet in Coonoor, South India. High elevation tea plants grow more slowly and generally provide lighter, more refined flavors. The tea garden is recognized as one of India?s premier organic tea estates. Established in 1922, it remains firmly committed to sustainable cultivation methods and conservation of the local ecosystems.USDA Organic; Full-bodied, smooth texture with a slightly woody and fruity flavor.; Made from full-leaf tea & packaged in Portland, OR.; Share Tea + Share
