Nilgiri Billimalai Winter Frost Black

The Nilgiris, or Blue Mountains, are in Tamil Nadu, South India, spanning parts of Karnataka and Kerala. Known for their rolling hills, cool climate, and lush tea estates, they are a prized tea-growing region in the Western Ghats.

Nilgiri tea estates range from 1,000 to 2,500 meters (3,280 to 8,200 feet), offering the perfect high-altitude conditions for slow-grown, aromatic teas.

Winter Frost tea is a rare Nilgiri harvest, plucked in the peak of winter when cold temperatures slow leaf growth.

This natural withering enhances the tea’s vibrant aroma, fruity-sweet notes, and silky-smooth texture-making it highly sought after by connoisseurs.
