The difference between generic cardamom tea and Homewood Cardamom Tea is the base: real single-estate Nilgiris CTC at altitude, not a commodity blend padded with filler.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cardamom here is not flavouring. Real ground elaichi, blended at the Nilgiris factory in proportions that complement the natural brightness of Homewood tea rather than masking it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌿 \u003cstrong\u003eReal Cardamom — Not Flavouring\u003c\/strong\u003e — Ground elaichi blended in, not artificial cardamom flavour or synthetic extract.

If you prefer a stronger cardamom hit, brew slightly longer or add extra whole cardamom while simmering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Homewood Cardamom Tea different from the generic Nilgiris Cardamom Tea?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — the base tea is different. The generic Nilgiris Cardamom Tea uses a blended Nilgiris base. Homewood Cardamom Tea uses specifically Homewood Estate single-estate CTC, which has its own distinct bold character that makes the cardamom combination more complex.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OotyMade.com","offers":[{"title":"500 Grams","offer_id":46176774488290,"sku":"","price":240.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 KG","offer_id":46176774521058,"sku":"","price":480.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false},{"title":"2 KG","offer_id":46176774553826,"sku":"","price":960.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0325\/2771\/2389\/files\/CardamomTea1.jpg?v=1733389376","url":"https:\/\/ootymade.com\/products\/ooty-homewood-cardamom-tea","provider":"OotyMade.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
