This week Cat and I have been drinking Corsley Estate TGFOP (Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe – one of the highest grades of Indian teas). Corsley Estate is nestled in the Blue Hills or Nilgiri district of southern India’s Tamil Nadu province.

This single-estate black tea is a classic Nilgiri tea with lemon notes and nice astringency with a light almost honey like sweetness. The liquor brews up with substantial body without being overwhelming and is very nice on its own without any additions. However, if you are so inclined, it could probably handle a splash of milk. Overall, a very pleasant and easy to enjoy cup of tea.
