South India, where Nilgiri is located, has a sweaty climate even in January. However, the temperature in Nilgiri is high and the wind blows chilly.

In such a Nilgiri, from December 27th at the end of the year to mid-February, the winter specialty tea "Winter Frost" of Kairbetta Tea Estate introduced this time is made.

The tea leaves are black and long in shape. As the extraction progresses in hot water, the olive green tea leaves will eventually return to their original appearance when they were picked.
The tea leaves, which are picked every Tuesday, are processed early in the morning at a temperature of 2-4 degrees to prevent the temperature from rising during the tea-making process, including wilting.
Therefore, it has a green scent reminiscent of fresh core buds and a scent reminiscent of flowers, and you can feel the refreshing taste like the first flush of Darjeeling.
Personally, I love the sparkling lemon-yellow light blue color when brewed just for 3 minutes, and the refreshing aroma of the citrus peel, which has a slight lime-like bluish tint, and the bitter aftertaste. is a brand.

Please enjoy the special brand made just after the new year.

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 estate 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 gardens reach an altitude of 2,000m and are planted here and there with silver oak shade trees, creating an ideal tea garden landscape. In January, they 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 estates 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.
