Our Nilgiri Frost Oolong originates from Nilgiri, in Southern India and is graded TGFOP (Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe). Since this tea is grown at a high elevation, the leaves are exposed to a light frost during some nights of the winter months. The long thin chocolate colored leaves are hand twisted and produce a weighty body. This smooth tea has notes of citrus, peach, pecan, and oak. There are many qualities similar to a Nilgiri black tea; however, the frost oolong is much gentler and sweeter. This tea is produced in very limited quantities due to the short harvest period and special conditions that must exist.

Thanks to Stacy from Butiki Tea for this sample! Oolongs are the only tea I always drink without sweetener and this one is particularly enjoyable. It’s very smooth with no astringency at all. It’s a little bit sweet, but mainly roasted and woodsy tasting. It tastes….cold…..maybe? I don’t know but I like it. The more it cools, the more I’m enjoying it. The only drawback is that it does leave my mouth a little dry.
