The tea you drink every morning deserves to be this good.

OotyMade Nilgiris Regular Tea is a premium CTC blend sourced directly from Nilgiris tea estates at 6,000 feet — where cool mountain air, rich volcanic soil, and two monsoon seasons produce a leaf that brews bold, bright, and consistently satisfying, cup after cup.

This is your daily chai, elevated.

🍃 SOURCED FROM NILGIRIS ESTATES AT 6,000 FEET — the altitude that produces India's brightest, most aromatic tea. Cool climate + mineral-rich soil + two monsoon seasons = a CTC blend that outperforms most premium teas in flavour intensity

PERFECT DAILY CHAI BASE — bold, full-bodied, rich amber liquor that holds up beautifully to milk and sugar. Brews strong in 2–3 minutes. Consistent cup, every time, without fail

🌿 NO BLENDING WITH LOWLAND TEA — 100% Nilgiris origin. Not blended with Assam or Dooars tea to reduce cost. What you receive is pure Blue Mountains character in every spoon

📦 PACKED FRESH AT SOURCE — sealed at the Nilgiris factory within days of processing. Not sitting in a warehouse. The difference in freshness is immediately apparent when you open the pack

DPIIT RECOGNIZED BRAND — OotyMade is Startup India and Startup TN certified. Every product we source is traceable, quality-checked, and backed by 9 years and 3 lakh+ orders of earned trust

Q1: What makes Nilgiris tea different from regular CTC tea?

Nilgiris CTC tea is grown at 6,000 feet altitude where the cool climate (15–20°C year-round), mineral-rich soil, and two annual monsoons produce leaves with a naturally bright, brisk flavour and high antioxidant content. Most commercial CTC blends include lowland Assam or Dooars tea. OotyMade's Nilgiris Regular Tea is 100% Nilgiris origin — no blending to reduce cost.

Q2: How strong is Nilgiris Regular Tea?

This is a full-bodied CTC blend that brews a deep amber to reddish-brown cup. It is strong enough to hold up to milk and sugar — in fact it is designed for traditional Indian milk chai. For black tea without milk, reduce to half a teaspoon per cup to avoid over-extraction.

Q3: How many cups does one pack make?

One teaspoon (3–4g) per cup. A 250g pack makes approximately 60–80 cups. A 500g pack makes approximately 125–160 cups. A 1kg pack makes approximately 250–320 cups depending on your preferred strength.

Q4: Is this tea suitable for making masala chai?

Yes — it is an excellent base for masala chai. The bold, full-bodied character of Nilgiris CTC holds up well to strong spices like cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper. Add spices directly to the water before adding tea for best flavour infusion.

Q5: Where can I buy authentic Nilgiris tea online in India?

OotyMade sources and delivers authentic Nilgiris tea directly from estates in the Blue Mountains, pan-India. Order at ootymade.com. Available in 250g, 500g, and 1kg packs.

Why Nilgiris Tea is Different

The Nilgiris — India's Blue
Mountains — grows tea at 6,000 feet above sea level, where the combination of
cool temperatures (15–20°C year-round), two annual monsoons, and mineral-rich
volcanic soil creates growing conditions found nowhere else in India.

At this altitude, tea plants
grow more slowly. Slower growth concentrates the natural compounds —
polyphenols, catechins, aromatic oils — that give Nilgiris tea its
characteristic brightness, natural sweetness, and clean, clear liquor.

What makes OotyMade's tea range
unique is traceability. We source from named estates — Kannavarai, Homewood,
Darmona, Homedale, Silver Oak — so you know exactly which garden your tea comes
from. No anonymous blends. No imported material. Just the Blue Mountains.

All teas are packed fresh at source and dispatched within 48 hours of
your order.



Brewing Guide:

How to Brew the Perfect Cup

 FOR MILK CHAI
(Traditional Indian Method):

1. Add 200ml water to a saucepan
and bring to boil

2. Add 1 heaped teaspoon (3–4g)
of tea powder

3. Simmer for 2–3 minutes on
medium heat

4. Add 50–75ml full-fat milk

5. Simmer for 1 more minute

6. Add sugar to taste, strain,
and serve immediately

 

FOR BLACK TEA
(Plain, Without Milk):

1. Heat water to 90–95 degrees
Celsius (just below boiling)

2. Add 1 teaspoon tea powder per
200ml

3. Steep for 2–3 minutes maximum

4. Strain immediately into your
cup

5. Add lemon or honey if desired
— never milk with black tea

 

FOR ICED TEA:

1. Brew double-strength (2
teaspoons per 200ml)

2. Steep for 3 minutes

3. Strain directly over a glass
full of ice

4. Add lemon slices and honey

Nilgiris tea stays crystal clear when iced — no cloudiness.



Freshness and Storage

Freshness, Storage and Shelf
Life

 SHELF LIFE: 12–18 months from
packing date when stored correctly.

All tea is packed fresh at
source and vacuum-sealed or airtight-sealed before dispatch.

 STORAGE: Store in an airtight
container in a cool, dry place away from:

— Direct sunlight (degrades
chlorophyll and antioxidants)

— Moisture (causes mold and
off-flavors)

— Strong odours (tea absorbs
surrounding aromas rapidly)

— Heat above 30 degrees Celsius

 

BEST PRACTICE: Transfer to a
ceramic or glass airtight container on receipt.

A dedicated tea tin stored in a
kitchen cabinet is ideal.

 

SIGNS OF FRESHNESS: Fresh Nilgiris
tea has a bright, clean aroma on opening.

If the aroma has faded
significantly, the tea is past its prime — though still safe to consume.

 

DISPATCH: All OotyMade teas are dispatched within 48 hours of order
confirmation.
