Highly recommended for the white tea connoisseurs, this tea is made from a blend of select teabuds covered in white hair from the celebrated tea estates from the Blue Mountain or Nilgiri region of India. This specialty tea is intensely aromatic and yet restrained in flavour with rich notes of grass and a floral bouquet.
The tea retains its delightful flavours in repeated steeps and leaves on a satisfying sweet note.
Established in the year 1835, the Glendale tea estate is located right next to the scenic city of Coonoor in southern India. It is a dignitary of the famous Nilgiris range and lies at an elevation ranging from 4000 to 6000 feet above sea level. Due to the cold, dry and misty climatic conditions, their leaves are characterized by a brisk and golden color which distinctively bestows the savory floral aroma in their teas. The total planted area constitutes 525 hectares which yield approximately 3000 kgs per hectare. Glendale is among the most recognized Nilgiri tea plantations and follows all global production stanadards.
