The Nilgiris — India's Blue Mountains — grows tea at 6,000 feet above sea level, where cool year-round temperatures (15–20°C), two annual monsoons, and mineral-rich volcanic soil create 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.

For Milk Chai (Traditional Indian Method)

1. Add 200ml water to a saucepan and bring to a 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°C (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.

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 mould and off-flavours), strong odours (tea absorbs surrounding aromas rapidly), and heat above 30°C.

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.
