Description

This super fresh, single-leaf tea is so unique, we weren’t quite sure just where to put it on our tea wall. Somewhere between a black and a green, it could technically pass as either type, due to its unique process of slow drying and oxidation. Its signature? Each handpicked leaf is carefully twisted to preserve its fresh flavour and floral aroma. In the cup, this comes through in the sweet, herbal taste, with notes of fruit, flowers and spice. And the estate is just as fabulous as the tea itself. Located in the Nilgiri mountains, the family-owned Glendale tea garden has the ideal climate for growing spectacularly brisk and floral teas – not to mention their commitment to their employees and the environment. Rainforest Alliance certified.
