SFTGFOP-1, lot no. NL-06/25

As every year, at the end of winter, our colleagues from the Blue Mountains in South India send us their premium winter harvest. This is an exceptionally nicely processed leaf from the winter harvest (this year the teas were harvested earlier than usual, in mid-January, and their quality is excellent this year). This is a lighter processing style similar to Darjeeling teas, but with a typical Nilgiri character, i.e. a fine tea with slightly honeyed and interesting, more pronounced tones of fruit (tropical fruit, citrus) and flowers (jasmine) in the aroma and a long aftertaste. The Kairbetta garden is located in the Blue Mountains in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu at an altitude of around 2000 m above sea level and is certified by the Rain Forest Alliance, which ensures more gentle practices with a minimum of agricultural chemicals. It is beautiful to watch how the quality of its “frost teas” improves every year.

Harvest time: early January 2025

Area: Kotagiri, Nilgiri Mountains

This is perhaps the best Nilgiri tea I have had. It is very aromatic and tasty with a buttery mouthfeel and a pungent and protracted aftertaste.

The strong dry leaf smell has notes of jasmine, courgette flowers, compost, burdock, and camphor. The last one persists during the session and is complemented by meaty, vegetal, and herbaceous aromas.

The taste is savoury, floral and bitter, while the aftertaste is more spicy and sweet. There are flavours of butter, vegetables such as rapini and courgette, and various spices.
