Nilgiri is a region of southern India noted for its rolling hills and fragrant, mild black teas. The majority of high-elevation Nilgiri tea is orthodox and a few tea estates are now producing white teas.
Many people find that the mellow, perfumey flavor of Nilgiri black tea is ideal for making iced tea. It is worth noting that many types of black tea (especially those with high levels of tannins, like Assam teas) tend to cloud when chilled, but Nilgiri teas generally do not cloud when iced.
