This variety captures the early spring sunshine of South India, with a fresh aroma reminiscent of green leaves and citrus.

A Nilgiri speciality tea from South India's quality season. The tender leaves are plucked seven days after budding in the cool pre-dawn air, when temperatures fall to around 8–11 ℃, then carefully rolled into long, slender leaves. The bright golden liquor releases a delicate floral aroma reminiscent of spring blossoms, with sweet notes of citrus and fresh green leaves that evoke the arrival of spring. Best enjoyed straight.

Kairbetta Tea Estate

Scenery of tea picking. Women who are buried in the tea trees and pick them wholeheartedly. All I could hear was the chirping of birds, the tearing of tea leaves, and the hushed voice of the Plucking Lady.

Established in 1887, it is a medium-sized tea plantation that produces high-quality black tea using 100% orthodox methods. The history began when Mr. JT Murray, an Englishman, gradually bought the land around Kotagiri, leveled the tea fields, and started selling the picked tea leaves to nearby tea factories. Full-fledged black tea production began in 1926 when a tea factory was built on the premises. The tea plantations reach an altitude of 2,000m and are planted here and there with silver oak shade trees, creating an ideal tea plantation landscape. In January, we produced a specialty tea called Winter Frost. 80% of the black tea produced is exported to foreign countries, and it is one of the tea gardens representing Nilgiri that can know the high quality and safety.

Nilgiri, also known as the Blue Mountain

Blue-purple Kurinji flowers cover the entire mountain.

Nilgiri means "blue mountain" in the local language. The reason for this is said to be that once every 12 years, the Kurinji flowers bloom all at once here, making the mountains look blue. It seems that the last time it bloomed all at once in 2018, so it is said that the next flowering will be seen in 2030.
