I really liked this, which has a classic tea taste with a good amount of lemon notes and a nice astringency with a tinge of honey like sweetness. On brewing, the tea comes up with a substantial body without being too overwhelmed and what’s more, it does need any addition to it. The tea tastes at its very best. Still I am alwais eager to experiment with the tea, so, i went ahead with adding a small amount of milk into it and experienced a pleasant cup of tea and found it very enjoyable.

While thinking of any Indian tea, the first thing that comes into your mind is Assam and Darjeeling. However, recently i read an article, that Nilgiri teas also stand out completely in various departments. I bought a pack from Primatea to try it out and I must say, I’m pretty much impressed with it. A 4-6 minutes of brewing will give you a decent cup of tea. The scent s simply stunning and the taste is awesome. The taste of this tea lingers in your mouth and the finishing of the tea is just clean, crisp and refreshing. I did made a nice iced tea. However, I found it to be best suitable for breakfast.
