This is a really fantastic Nilgiri. Bright and flavorful. A lovely floral note that arrives about mid-sip. Moderately astringent. I’d classify it as something between an Assam and a Ceylon – with the brisk tones of the Ceylon and the deep, rich flavor of freshly baked bread of an Assam. A very pleasant cup, indeed!
I notice as the tea cools a bit the flavors smooth out very nicely, this would be awesome iced!

I need to try this the next time I order something from Arbor!
I liked it a lot. I am thinking about picking up more of it when summer arrives, because as lovely as it was hot, I prefer it iced.
I tend not to order Nilgiri Blacks, because the few I tried many years ago were too lemony for my tastes. Maybe I’d like them now though. Nilgiri’s do tend to make good iced tea.
