Nilgiri is especially prized for iced tea because it tends not to go cloudy when cooled, unlike some black teas, staying bright, clear, and refreshing. Its brisk, smooth flavour holds up beautifully over ice with a slice of lemon. For a crisp, fragrant iced tea, Nilgiri is a top choice, though it is equally enjoyable served hot, plain, or with milk.

Yes, as a black tea Nilgiri contains caffeine and makes an energising cup, with the amount depending on the leaf and steeping time. Its smooth, brisk character makes it a pleasant choice through the day, hot or iced. If you are caffeine-sensitive, enjoy it earlier in the day, steep it briefly, or choose a caffeine-free herbal infusion in the evening.
