About Nilgiri, India

Nilgiri is a district in southern India in the state of Tamil Nadu. It is an important tea-producing region, probably the next most well-known in India after Darjeeling and Assam. The region is mountainous, and teas are grown at high altitudes giving them a high-grown character. The term "Nilgiri" also refers to a range of mountains that runs into the bordering state of Kerala. Some tea is also grown in Kerala, in the region bordering Nilgiri.

Like most of India, Nilgiri is best known for its black teas, although it also produces green teas. Upton Tea Imports describes Nilgiri teas as being similar to Ceylon tea, yet with a distinctive character.[1]
