Nilgiri Tea Plantations

Nilgiri tea plantations are located in the Nilgiri Hills of southern India, primarily in the state of Tamil Nadu. Known for their unique, aromatic tea, these plantations benefit from the region's high-altitude climate, which provides ideal conditions for tea cultivation. The area’s lush green landscape and diverse flora contribute to the distinctive flavor profile of Nilgiri tea, which is often described as fragrant and brisk. These plantations play a significant role in local agriculture and economy, employing many residents and exporting tea globally, making Nilgiri tea a notable component of India’s rich tea heritage.
