Estate Tea- Nilgiri-South India
Nonsuch
Grade:BOP

Nonsuch is one of the best Nilgiri district teas in league with Tiger Hill and Pascoe’s Woodlands. 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 flavor. 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 Nilgiri rises 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. The tea at Thiashola was cultivated by Chinese prisoners of war, captured by the British during the Opium Wars.

The climate of the Nilgiri allows tea to be produced all year round. The first flushes of the new season are picked from April until May and account for about 25% of the region’s total harvest. The 2nd flush - accounting for about 40-45% of the yearly crop is from Sept. to Nov., and lastly the third flush is from Dec. to Jan. The best teas are produced during January and August.

2 oz = 20-25 cups
