Description

Nilgiri Tea SFTGFOP1 (Super Fine Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe 1) is for adventurous palates. It takes you on a journey through the mist-laden hills of southern India. The Nilgiris are home to refined and robust teas.

SFTGFOP1 denotes the highest grade of tea. The buds and the first two leaves are plucked with utmost care, a tribute to the discerning drinker.

Nilgiri's unique highland terrain, at the cool altitude of around 1,800 meters, elevates the most delicate notes of tea. It creates a smooth cup with a mellow infusion. We describe this particular variety as having a "bright copper liquor with a smooth yet fruity-malty flavour."

Tea connoisseurs are in for a treat with the Nilgiri SFTGFOP1. Its long, wiry leaves unfurl to reveal a brew bearing hints of citrus and cool herbaceous undertones, a rare combination that sets this tea apart.

Described as "full of life." It's a great choice for those who appreciate the balance of a white-gold liquor and the complexity of a well-constructed leaf.

How to Make Nilgiri Tea SFTGFOP1

To enjoy a perfect cup of Nilgiri Tea SFTGFOP1, the process is as much about tradition as technique. Adhering to the right steps will ensure that you capture the essence of this superb blend. Here's how to craft your cup:

  1. Warm the teapot: Begin by filling your teapot with hot water to warm it. Then discard the water after a minute or two. This step ensures the temperature remains consistent during brewing.
  2. Measure the tea: For each cup, use about 2 grams or one teaspoon of tea leaves. These proportions can be adjusted according to preference. This will result in a stronger or more delicate brew.
  3. Boil fresh water: Use clean, cold water and bring it to a near boil at about 90°C (194°F). This temperature is crucial. Overly hot water may scorch the leaves, causing bitterness.
  4. Steep the tea: Add the tea leaves to the teapot and pour the hot water over them. Allow the tea to steep for three to five minutes. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavour will be.
  5. Strain and serve: After steeping, strain the tea leaves and pour the brew into cups. Nilgiri Tea is best enjoyed without milk to appreciate its natural flavours. However, a slice of lemon or a small spoon of honey can enhance its innate characteristics.

Savouring Nilgiri Tea SFTGFOP1 is celebrating the artistry of tea-making. Enjoy it in quiet contemplation or as an accompaniment to a friendly chat. However you choose to savour it, this exceptional tea will leave a lasting impression.

  10. Like the fragrant taste. As I have not tried this before, I didn’t put enough in so it’s a bit weak for my husband’s taste. He drinks this with milk. Perfect for me without milk. Second time was better. It does get stronger brewing for a little longer.
