Glendale Estate, Nilgiri District
Delicate twists of mellow black tea
Nilgiri, whose name translates as Blue Mountains, is one of the three main specialty tea regions of India (alongside Assam and Darjeeling). It lies near the southwestern tip of India, with a cool, wet climate that nourishes some of the world’s most sought-after teas. This tea comes from the renowned Glendale Estate.
This delicious black tea is produced with fanrastic attention to detail. Whole leaves of the same size are shaped into delicate twists, and when infused in boiling water produce a deep coppery liquor. The refreshing flavour is brisk yet rounded and mellow, with characteristic fruity notes.
Use 1 rounded teaspoon per person and 1 for the pot. Pour on fresh boiling water. Allow to brew for 3-4 minutes for the perfect flavour. Can be enjoyed with or without milk.
