Nilgiri Lemon Tea | Tea Dust | Silver Oak Tea Factory Ooty

Key Features & Benefits

• Premium Nilgiri Tea Dust Base Our black tea dust, harvested from high-altitude Nilgiri plantations, provides a robust, malty foundation that complements the natural tartness of hibiscus, resulting in a balanced and full-bodied infusion.

At Silver Oak Tea Factory, our team handpicks the top leaves, processes them using traditional rolling and oxidation, and blends them with sun-dried hibiscus flowers for an all-natural, chemical-free tea experience.

The combination helps in digestion, supports metabolism, and provides a hydrating alternative to sugary drinks.
