Artisan Quality Pure Leaf Teas Fresh USDA Brews 50 Cups Certified by QAI Origin Nilgiris, India Blue Mountains The ‘Nilgiris’ or ‘Blue Mountains’ are a range of mountains in the South Indian states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Tea culture is eminent in these serene mountains. Tea is grown at elevations of 1,000 to 2,500 metres. The landscape is quite unlike the rest of India, marked by rolling hills covered with dense vegetation and tea gardens. Many portions of the hills are preserved as natural reserve forests. High Elevation Nilgiri Blue is a high elevation tea (Grown at 8,000 feet). High elevation tea plants grow slower and generally provide lighter, more refined flavors. 100% The tea garden is recognized as one of India’s premier tea estates.
