Outstanding example of a winter frost tea

Outstanding example of a Nilgiri winter frost tea. Intensely aromatic with a fruity-floral characteristic - delightful note of black currant. On the palate, smooth and medium bodied with a hint of umami. Finishes with the wintergreen flavour unique to this type of tea.

Expensive delight

The tea is very good, tasty and fresh but not tannic. Not so keen on the price.

A great winter tea

One of the best examples of a winter tea I have ever tried, a nice almost cinnamon note

I wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying the Glendale Winter Frost Black. It does have subtle floral notes that remind me of spring. I have been experimenting with the amount I use and the tea is so complex I get wonderful variations on flavor. I honestly said "Oh my!" the first time I sipped this tea (lol-that does not happen often). One of the best black teas I have had. Thanks for finding it!

Hidden gem from down south

This tea is a real, rare dusky beauty from down south. There is so much of a distinct personality to this one: lovely aroma, beautiful dull greenish steeped leaves, a taste that tantalizes and surprises you at every note. It hits you gently like a well bodied green at the sip, sinks through your taste buds and leaves and evolving aftertaste which is a mix of floral, fruity, smoky and liquorish. The aroma evolves as the tea cools down with vegetal, floral and so much of fresh morning energy when hot; leading up to soothing, smoky when cool. Truly a Cleopatra of teas, a must try!!!

Now I want to try more of Nilgiris

My first Nilgiri tea.
I've got this tea as one of free samples with my order. It ended up to be my favorite out of the five teas i tried from Teabox.
Light, floral taste. Great tea!
