GavaTea is an ambassador of the Nilgiris tea to the world

humbly Nilgiris

The Nilgiri tea is truly an undiscovered gem of the tea world. Nilgiris may not be a household name, but take your favourite black tea blend, chances are there is Nilgiris tea in there! Considered a blender’s dream, high grown Nilgiri teas can enhance any blend by giving it extra body and strength. But rather than guessing what’s in your cup, why not go straight for the real deal?!

in the beginning was tea

whole leaf quality

The quality and size of the leaf play an important role in the taste of the tea and the level of health benefits it delivers. Whole leaf tea is minimally processed and retains its complex flavour, deep aroma and healing properties.

Watching the leaves unfurl will take you back to the origin and reveal the story of this magical beverage.

the taste

We select the best teas in season when the quality of the leaves, the taste and aroma are at their prime. The teas that pass our selection process are distinct in their body, character and taste and are ultimately fresh.

Our teas are produced in small batches using artisanal machines or hands to shape the delicate leaves and seal the aroma.
