High Mountain Nilgiri from Townshend's Tea Company

79/100

High Mountain Nilgiri

Black Tea by Townshend's Tea Company

A full-bodied brew from the mountains of southwest India. A great breakfast or afternoon tea.

1.5 teaspoons of leaves per 8 ounces of water. Steep 3-5 minutes. Not typically good for a second infusion.

Had it with one Truvia and a dash of nonfat milk.

I bought this tea on a whim, not really expecting to love it and was very pleasantly surprised. It smells beautiful and is highly flavorful, although I think a 5-minute steep would have enhanced the flavors.

It literally forced a grin onto my face that hasn’t left yet this morning.
