Touted on its website as the most expensive and famous teas on earth its not hard to see why with its incredible flavor.
Truly this is a one of a kind tea. From beginning, the beautifully processed and dried young leaves, to the end, with its sweet after taste this tea is a master piece. It has a sweetness to it that is unlike anything I’ve tasted before.
What’s truly amazing is that it isn’t because of anything added to it.
The sweetness is simply because of where it was grown, harvested, and processed.
It has slight grassy notes as well but they are somehow different from that of ones found in green tea.The website also describes the sweetness as muscatel, which, when steeped correctly, is uniquely present in the undertones.
Here’s the scoop!

Green Twirl Nilgiri Tea from The Kettlery. . . . .
Green Twirl Nilgiri Tea from The Kettlery is a no muss-no fuss sort of green tea. If you are looking for a sweeter-green that is clean and true this one might be for you!
It isn’t much for aroma but it makes up for it in juicy-sweet almost cantaloupe-like notes in this straight-up green tea. Green Twirl Nilgiri Tea from The Kettlery is easy-drinking! Enjoy it hot or cold! It’s naturally juicy and makes your mouth water as you drink it!
It’s a very forgiving green tea because I found it was hard to over infuse. It’s not bitter at all! It’s not all that grassy either. The hints of grass you may taste are more of a sweeter grass. I think this is pretty fantastic!
I can’t help but think of my Color Guard days while in High School Marching Band twirling my flag to the theme of the year while smelling sweet green grassy pastures of lemon-lime goodness! Not only is their a word association for me here but also surrounding aroma of nature at it’s best!

Blueberries and Blossoms in My Cup! Rooibos Blend From The Kettlery
As much as I love pumped-up black teas and spicy chai teas, I do need an herbal comfort now and again. Enter: Blueberry Blossoms Rooibos Tea from the Kettlery. Unsurprisingly, the overall the focus of this blend is blueberry. You can smell the berries in the dry leaf, and their flavor is very forward in the brew. This tea is not too juicy, or fruit-heavy, like other blueberry blends with hibiscus or apple pieces. This is more subdued and toasty, like a blueberry scone.
I can understand why rooibos teas might be a hit-or-miss for some people. Red rooibos can taste like medicine if oversteeped and green rooibos can be bland if you are not in the mood for it. This tea feels like a happy medium, an easy-going rooibos, strong enough to add some nuttiness underneath the blueberry flavors, but far from overpowering. I didn’t experience any sour or bitter tones when brewing this tea, only warm and gentle blueberry.
There are marshmallow blossoms listed in the ingredients list, which I found intriguing. We all know what marshmallows taste like, little clouds of pure sweetness in cocoa or Lucky Charms, but they’re not quite the same as marshmallow blossoms. My internet research tells me that mallow blossoms should taste a bit sweet, like their sugary counterparts. Any additional sweetness in this tea gets wrapped up in the blueberry flavor, and I didn’t notice any unusual herbal tastes in this tea. Perhaps the mallow blossoms are in this blend for their visual appeal. The little lavender blossoms certainly are a nice pair with the deep purple blueberries.
If you’re looking for a gentle, nutty, blueberry tea without too much sour fruit or in-your-face hibiscus, I recommend brewing up a pot of Blueberry Blossoms Roobios from the Kettlery.
Here’s the scoop!
