First time trying English Tea Store's Nonsuch Estate Loose Leaf Tea? Try our Sample Size of 1 ounce.

The Nonsuch Estate Tea blend from English Tea Store is a blend of Nilgiri Tea from South India, grown at 5000 feet above sea level. The tea has an interesting fruity floral-like maltiness that is unique to teas from the Nilgiri area of India. It is a stronger tea suitable for breakfast time.

Nonsuch is one of the best Nilgiri district teas in a league with Tiger Hill and Glendale. The Nilgiri area is in Southern Central India and certainly well suited to the production of tea. The cooler temperatures of the mountains and abundant rainfall ensure superb cropping conditions. Generally, Nilgiri teas resemble better Ceylon teas but tend to be somewhat more delicate in their flavour. Nonsuch has a hint of fruitiness that is quite distinct to the Nilgiri area.

Nilgiri is a mountainous region of Tamil Nadu State in southeastern India. The peaks of the Nilgiris rise abruptly from the surrounding plains to an elevation of 5000 - 8500 feet above sea level. Tea was first planted on an experimental basis in 1835 and the first commercial tea garden was at Thiashola Tea Garden which began operations in 1859.

98% or more of this tea comes from estates that are part of the Ethical Tea Partnership. The ETP is an initiative started within the tea industry to monitor and regulate living and working conditions on estates around the world.
