While the Nilgiri region has been traditionally known for its black teas, several estates have been producing Oolongs or Oolong-like black teas. The Nilgiri Oolongs I've tried have been quite impressive.
This Oolong from Chamraj is very nice. It's quite similar to a medium oxidized and medium roasted Dancong Oolong. There is some dimension to the interesting aroma, which carries a peachy fruitiness I normally associate with Dancong. In the mouth, the flavor is again quite like Dancong, but a bit softer and less astringent. The moderately long aftertaste is pleasantly sweet, with a hint of bitterness.
This tea is definitely worth a try if you're a fan of Oolongs.
