Description

Sourced from a different tea estate to our previous Nilgiri Winter Frost offerings, this one has a very unique apricot taste which cools and lingers in the mouth.

Nilgiri Winter Frost Tea gets its unique taste as a result of the contrasting conditions experienced by the plant in late winter, the days are warm and sunny while temperatures plummet at night.
