Nilgiri - Loose Leaf Black Tea

Reviews

A favorite all around black tea

"I discovered this tea years ago and It has become my go to favorite tea. It is mellow with a fruitiness to it. Not too bold and not too fruity--just right. Not astringent either. it’s great hot or cold."

— carolyn d. (5/5)

— Doug R. (5/5)

Iced Tea

"Very lovely I mixed it with Assam to make a lovely ice tea. Love it"

— Cindy K. (5/5)

Love mixing my ice tea blend

"I use this tea to blend with another to make an ice tea mix. When I was a child my mother always used loose leave, I had always used tea bags, I am loving the clean tea flavor I get without having bleached tea bags holding my tea."

— Charlotte E. (5/5)

Good flavor for afternoon teatime!

"Mixed with the Assam creates the best and most economical daily hot tea for my preference. Look forward to making iced tea with this combination!"

— Sherrie J. (5/5)

Great black tea flavor

"Great black tea flavor"

— Abbyjane D. (5/5)

One of my favorite teas!

"I love the flavor of this tea. For me it has a mild sweetness that is unique and so lovely. I could drink it all day!"

— Carolyn D. (5/5)

So glad I found this company

"I make my own mix of Nilgiri and Assam. We love the taste. The flavor is so smooth and flavorful. We drink hot by the cup and cold by gallon. Order was received very promptly."

— Carol T. (5/5)

Taste like

"I recently saw a post explaining which two teas to blend and taste similar to a store brand but without ALL the chemicals. This is really important to me, so I decided to give it a try. Sure enough blending Nilgiri and Robust Assam (and a little bit of organic sugar) taste just the like the sweet tea we are used to!"

— Courtney B. (5/5)
