Four 50g pouches — FBOP, Masala Chai, Green Tea, and Premium Orthodox — for the curious or the gifter who can't choose.
The sampler is our most common first purchase from new customers who have heard about Nilgiris tea but are not sure which grade suits them. Each of the four pouches carries 50g — enough for 20–25 cups of each variety.
Contents: FBOP Loose Leaf (everyday black), Masala Chai Blend (spiced CTC), Nilgiris Green Tea (light-fired first flush), and Premium Orthodox Whole Leaf (for sipping without milk). The brewing guides for each variety are printed inside the outer box.
Also popular as a corporate gift for overseas clients — the four-variety format communicates the breadth of Nilgiris tea better than any single product.

Perfect intro to Nilgiris tea for a Pune household
I knew nothing about Nilgiris tea beyond the name. This sampler explained it without me having to read anything — just drink four different cups over a week and you understand the terroir, the range, and why it's different from Assam. The green tea especially surprised me.
Great gift, green tea was the revelation
Bought this as a discovery gift for myself. The masala chai was predictably excellent. The real surprise was the green tea — I had no idea Nilgiris produced green tea, and this one is noticeably different from the Chinese greens I usually drink. Light, sweet, with no bitterness.
