The Nilgiri district lies in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

The Nilgiris, also known as the Blue Mountains, are part of the Western Ghats that run along the western coast of the peninsula.

It spans across the states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Kerala. The Nilgiris are known for their picturesque landscapes, tea plantations, and diverse flora and fauna.

Tea estates in the Nilgiris thrive at altitudes of 1,000 to 2,500 meters (3,280 to 8,200 feet).

These heights create optimal conditions for high-quality Nilgiri tea, thanks to the unique climate and environment.

Winter Frost" tea, unique to the Nilgiris, is harvested during the winter rest period of tea plants. Unlike regions where cold weather halts leaf production.

Nilgiri's milder climate allows for continued growth, intensifying aromatic compounds. Cold temperatures aid in a gradual withering and oxidation process, enhancing fruity and floral notes. Despite lower production,

Nilgiri Frost teas are prized for their sweet-fruity flavors, deep orange color, and smooth, balanced qualities, favored by tea enthusiasts.

Yes, Winter Frost teas, like other traditional teas, typically contain caffeine.

The caffeine content in tea is a natural component that comes from the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. While the exact amount of caffeine can vary based on factors such as tea type, processing method, and steeping time, all tea, including Winter Frost teas, naturally contains caffeine.

While Winter Frost teas can be cold steeped for iced tea experimentation, their intricate flavors are best appreciated through hot steeping, capturing their full depth and complexity.

Store Winter Frost teas in an opaque, airtight container away from sunlight and heat, in a cool, dark place.

Prevent exposure to strong odors and moisture to maintain freshness.

While refrigeration is optional, use an airtight container to prevent odor absorption.

Limit air exposure by minimizing container opening and use clean utensils. These practices preserve the tea's integrity, ensuring you enjoy its unique qualities consistently.

Winter Frost teas are crafted from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, specifically the clonal plant varietal.

Harvested during the winter season, the slower growth induced by colder temperatures contributes to the unique flavor profile of these teas.

The clonal plant varietal, coupled with factors such as terroir and processing, plays a pivotal role in shaping the nuanced flavors, aromas, and appearance of these exquisite teas.
