Nilgiri Kairbetta Cold Mist - First Flush 2026, 50 g

This exceptional tasting tea from the Nilgiri Mountains is produced during January, during the short winter season. The top two leaves and the bud are picked early in the morning when cool, thick mists roll over the garden. The unique taste and aroma typical of the Kairbetta terroir cannot be found in any other tea on the planet. The dark green, slightly twisted tea leaves release a yellow infusion after steeping. The aroma and taste are distinctly sweet and full, with hints of apricot jam and chicory syrup.

Use 10 g of tea (approx. 6 heaped tsp) per 1 l of water. Bring the water to the boil, then leave to cool to 85°C. Infuse for 3 minutes. Then strain. Suitable for 2 infusions.
