Vendor Notes
This unique tea cake from Nilgiri offers a luxurious amber liquor with evolving flavors. Initial infusions present a soft sweetness of sugarcane and dried fruits like Persian brown raisins and palm dates. Subsequent brews reveal a graceful complexity with notes of dry spices, white peppercorn, baked herbs, and warm cinnamon, settling into a comforting woody embrace with hints of cedar, hazelnuts, and clove-like nuances, all underpinned by a lingering roasted nuttiness.

About This Tea
What does taste like?
This unique tea cake from Nilgiri offers a luxurious amber liquor with evolving flavors. Initial infusions present a soft sweetness of sugarcane and dried fruits like Persian brown raisins and palm da. It leans fruity, woody and sweet.
How should I brew ?
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.
