Black Frost

Indian Black Tea, Chamraj Estate, Nilgiris

A clean and smooth high altitude tea, Black Frost is grown in the Nilgiri region of Southern India at elevations of 6,000 to 8,000 feet. Its gorgeous leaves make a bright golden amber brew. Black frost is slightly milder and sweeter than its northern cousins from Assam. You can drink this tea plain, or if you prefer, add a dash of milk and a little sweetener. Enjoy hot or iced.

Crisp.

Most Nilgiri teas I have tried in the past havent impressed me much. Black Forst seems to be a notable exception. I''''ll probably come back to buy the 1 pound bag next time.

Aromatic

Highly aromatic. I would recommend this for first timers to Nilgiri teas.

Good morning staple

I've been waking up to a cup of black frost recently and enjoy it with my cereal. I don't add milk or sugar to it - the flavor is wonderful all by itself. Thanks for a lovely tea.

Easily A Winner

Black Frost is one of my all time favorite Nilgiris I've tried this year. It's a strong, refreshing tea and ideal for mornings. Good choice.
