BIT MORE INFORMATION:
Nilgiri GBOP is a classic black tea grown in the lush, high-altitude Nilgiri Hills of South India. Following early British experiments with tea cultivation in Assam,
Nilgiri emerged as a successful southern counterpart, offering teas with similar strength but a slightly lighter and more aromatic profile.
This particular grade - Golden Broken Orange Pekoe—features a neat, shotty leaf that brews quickly into a rich, amber liquor. The flavour is brisk and full-bodied, with a gentle maltiness and a clean finish. It shares some characteristics with Assam teas but is often preferred for its smoother edge and subtle floral undertones.
Nilgiri GBOP is a versatile tea, ideal for morning or afternoon drinking. It pairs well with milk and sugar but is also enjoyable on its own. Its clarity and strength make it a popular choice for both hot and iced tea preparations.
