Nilgiri Bai Mu Dan is an exceptional Indian white tea grown in the Nilgiri mountains of India. Made from beautiful large leaves with soft yellow and pale green tones, it is as beautiful to look at as it is enjoyable to drink.

Its silky liquor reveals fresh herbal, floral and fruity aromas, ending with a lightly zesty finish that feels refreshing and thirst-quenching. With only about 29 mg of caffeine per cup, it is an excellent choice for those looking for a gentler tea experience without the intensity of black tea or coffee.

This tea also stands out for its inspiring story. Produced at Tea Studio in the Nilgiri mountains, it is the result of a collaboration between tea experts and a fully women-led local team. Grown at 1550 meters altitude by producer Ms. Muskan Khanna, it reflects craftsmanship, innovation and strong human values.
