Ooty Darmona Premium Black Tea — Antioxidant-Rich Single Estate Nilgiri | OotyMade
Darmona’s Premium grade is the estate’s signature offering — a carefully selected CTC black tea from the multi-elevation Darmona gardens that delivers not just flavour and strength but a measurably high antioxidant profile. The theaflavins and polyphenols in Nilgiris altitude-grown black tea are more concentrated than lowland equivalents — the slower growth at altitude concentrates the compounds that make tea both taste better and do more for your health.Four generations of the Gowder family, ISO 9001 certification, in-house laboratory testing.

Premium grade is a coarser, more balanced CTC grade — designed for flavour, body, and antioxidant character rather than maximum strength and colour. Dust is calibrated for maximum colour and cup yield. Premium is calibrated for the complete tea drinking experience.What are the health benefits of the antioxidants in Darmona black tea? The theaflavins and polyphenols in black tea have documented cardiovascular benefits, anti-inflammatory effects, and antioxidant activity. Nilgiris altitude-grown teas have higher polyphenol concentrations than lowland equivalents due to slower leaf growth concentrating these compounds.
