I think Tiger Hill has produced a very nice tea here. This well-structured tea more closely resembles a good Ceylon than any other Nilgiri I've tried, but does so without obscuring its provenance. Somehow, the tea maker has been able to retain the best aspects of the Nilgiri identity while playing down some of the wildness. The net result is a fairly sophisticated, well-balanced tea with the stuffing and structure to stand up to milk. As good as it is, this is still a fairly straightforward tea, so don't expect lots of nuance.
This is a good choice for Ceylon drinkers looking to try a Nilgiri.
