The tea estates in Nilgiri produce tea that is mild in taste with a mellow and clean liquor. Moreover, tea is grown all year round in the Nilgiri region, unlike Assam and Nilgiri where it is but seasonal. Having a lateritic origin, the Nilgiris soils are red and yellow loam. Most tea plantations here get two monsoons owing to which the tea bushes in South India 'flush' all the year round resulting in cropping season throughout the year.
