This mild black tea gives off a bicuity aroma with a definite astringency. On the palate it is very lingering as it dries the mouth. Moving towards the rear of palate it provides a strong citrus bite (in line with the astringent aroma). Highly brisk, this tea is a great wake up tea. The pucker it gives you alongside the clean finish (yet mild body) work wonderfully along the higher caffeine levels. Not my favorite black by far, but I can definitely appreciate it for a post egg, bacon, and sausage breakfast tea.

Nilgiri Blue Mountain
The Western Ghats are a chain of mountains home to the Nilgiris, or Blue Mountains, so-called for the violet blossoms of the ‘kurinji’ flower that periodically grace the slopes. A marvelous cultivation, this summer offering delivers a mild orange cup with subtle notes of fruit, sure to please.
