Recently, I was in a shop that had three or four. A few looked like very typical black tea, but the one I chose was so fresh (almost floral).<br /><br />It's called Thiashola 'Carrington' and I can't wait to find out more about this tea.<br /><br />A few tea drinkers I know who prefer green teas say that a Nilgiri is one of the few black teas they get excited about.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15691055489477622428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825055425170299721.post-50135396471170334072011-01-12T13:43:15.606-05:002011-01-12T13:43:15.606-05:00I'll look for a Nilgiri frost tea, I had not h...I'll look for a Nilgiri frost tea, I had not heard of that...I'm still learning so much!Alex Zorachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335878680429494039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825055425170299721.post-78193769812472748822011-01-12T13:21:40.703-05:002011-01-12T13:21:40.703-05:00Ah you have touched base with my favorite black te...Ah you have touched base with my favorite black tea producing region!<br />I adore Niligiri teas, specifically Nilgiri frost teas.<br />They are the lightest of all black teas (to my palate) and, if processed in the orthodox fashion, are some of the most intriguing teas to cup and taste.<br />They display mostly floral and honey like qualities, and are quite sweet for black teas. I enjoy the color, the delicacy, and the overall quality that I find to be a characteristic from the Nilgiri province.Sir William of the Leafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15366359211931253914noreply@blogger.com
