drank TN69: Kairbetta Estate SFTGFOP1 Winter Frost Nilgiri by Upton Tea Imports
106 tasting notes

Color of liquor: Orange-golden

Aroma: Fruity, muscatel

This tea is perfection. I cannot think of anything else I would be looking for in a Nilgiri frost black tea. There is no bitterness at all, and just the right amount of astringency to bring you back for more. Forward flavors of fruity muscatel, with a slight petrichor/wet rock flavor that I have always found highly appealing in many Indian teas from the Nilgiris, Darjeeling, and Kangra districts.

I am disappointed that this is now sold out on the website, but will watch and hope it shows up once again.

Flavors: Fruity, Muscatel, Petrichor, Wet Rocks

Preparation
3 min, 0 sec 6 g 16 OZ / 473 ML

Thanks, Martin! I can’t believe it’s been almost three years since I logged anything! Needless to say, I still was drinking tea during those three years! :)

2025: It’s been awhile, but I hope to be back to regularly updating my tea log!

My tea habits generally depend on my mood and the season but, in general, my preferred teas are black teas, especially those grown in India and Sri Lanka. I will occasionally drink other types, though.

Unless noted in my review, I brew my tea western style and do not use additives (milk/cream, sugar, etc.).

I am definitely not an expert when it comes to tea, so I’d love to hear from you if your experiences differ from the notes in my tea log.

Please feel free to contact me and let me know if you have a favorite that I have to try! :)
