'The Blue Mountains' are situated in Southern India. A picturesque range of undulating hilly landscapes where tea is grown at elevations ranging from 1000 meters to above 2500 meters. Rainfall varies from 100 to 600 centimetres. These conditions favour the fine flavours and brisk liquor of Nilgiri teas. The combination of fragrance and briskness makes Nilgiri a truly unique tea found nowhere else in the world.

Fine flavored teas are produced in the Nilgiris. Flavour is derived from the high elevation and prevails throughout the year in the varying degrees. They are the blender's dream, for while other high-grown teas have flavour, Nilgiri teas give the liquor body and strength as well. It is versatile and welcoming, and robust and smooth. It can be enjoyed anytime of the day, black, with or without milk and sugar.

To ensure that you get "Pure Nilgiri Teas", the Tea Board has created a logo for each of the types of teas, which can be used on a packet only when it contains 100% Darjeeling, Assam, or Nilgiri Teas. So the next time you buy a packet of Tea with the Nilgiri logo, rest assured that the packet contains 100% Nilgiri tea.
