Nilgiri Winter Frost Highland Petrichor Black Tea 2026 ( The Planter's Reservoir )

DESCRIPTION

Nilgiri winter teas never fail to surprise, each harvest unveiling a new layer of distinct aroma and flavor. This time, we are gifted with a rare winter frost tea, plucked with care from the highlands of Nilgiri. Early morning mist wraps the tender buds and leaves as they are hand-rolled with an unmatched devotion, infusing the tea with a soulful essence. The cup is a medium-bodied, well-rounded masterpiece, beginning with bright, fruity notes reminiscent of black grapes and ripe peaches, which deepen and evolve as the tea lingers. As the flavours unfold, bold chocolate undertones emerge, perfectly complemented by a delicate honey sweetness. Every sip is a dance of flavours, as sweet dry spice notes, reminiscent of clove, gently mingle with a hint of mandarin zest, creating a lingering finish that stays with you long after the last drop. This rare Nilgiri winter tea is a true indulgence for the senses, a comforting embrace in every cup.
