  The origin of the mountains’ name is unknown. Some sources cite the reason as the smoky haze enveloping the area, others say it is because of the kurunji flower, which blooms every twelve years giving the slopes a bluish tinge. The Nilgiri tea seems to take on the atmosphere of its mountain surroundings. It is dark and intensely aromatic, fragrant and flavorful. The tea produces a mild, pleasant and fairly sweet taste with a hint of malt. Due to its rich, subtle flavors, Nilgiri can be enjoyed any time of the day.

  HEALTH BENEFITS:
  Black tea is a rich source of antioxidants, which have been linked with cancer prevention, decreased heart disease and lowered cholesterol. It is rich with antioxidants called polyphenols – or tannin – which is known to prevent damage to cells. Damage to body cells is an early sign of cancer. Tannin is known for its ability to help DNA cells reproduce accurately, thus preventing abnormalities from forming.
