Nilgiri

This high mountain fermented tea offers a rich base complemented by the sweet and tart burst of blueberries. Expect a deep, warming infusion with bright fruit notes, perfect for a soothing gongfu sess. It leans fruity, fermented and sweet.

Water around 90–100 °C (195–212 °F). In a mug, steep 3–5 min. For gongfu, use 5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. Full boil is fine for most blacks. Don't overthink it.
