Nilgiri Black Orchid

Nilgiri Black Orchid | Premium Indian Black Tea Taste: Dried plum & crisp Asian pear Origin: Nilgiri mountains of Southern India Tea Maker: Tea Studio Infusion Suggestions: Steep 1 1 Tbsp /2.5 g | 8 oz | 210° F | 3 min Steep 2 8 oz | 210° F | 4 min Certifications: None (organically grown, verified through testing) Contains Caffeine Nilgiri Black Orchid is a fragrant black with notes of dried plum and crisp Asian pear. The all-women team of tea makers at Tea Studio created this tea in response to a challenge from one of the attendees of our Guided Tea Trips. Tasting Notes: This well-shaped tea begins with a heavy aroma of dried plums. The tea jumps on the tongue with notes of bright, tart Asian pear balanced against comforting, sweet red beans. It is a whole-leaf black tea, a rarity for the Nilgris, and the result is a tea with more weight and heft than is common for the region. Lovers of Taiwan’s black teas from Sun Moon Lake will also likely enjoy this tea. Productio
