Twisted fine tea leaves with a fragrance reminiscent of wild flowers
Nilgiri tea with a taste of spring

Produced during the quality season from the Sundaram B/5/63 clone, this speciality tea is carefully plucked as a bud and two leaves and delicately processed. In hot water the leaves slowly come to life, revealing aromas of fresh sprouts, spring white flowers, sweet nectar and citrus peel, all melting into a clear, refined cup with many layers of character.

Glendale Tea Estate

Glendale tea plantation that stretches on forever

The Glendale Tea Estate factory and offices are built against a sheer cliff

Glendale Tea Estate in Coonoor District. It is the largest of the tea gardens that produce orthodox Nilgiri tea. Tree planting started in 1860, and the factory started in 1881. There are 517 hectares of tea plantations at an altitude of 1,500 to 2,000 meters. Surrounded by sheer cliffs, the Nilgiri Mountain Railway, which is registered as a World Heritage Site, runs through the tea plantation, creating a scenic sight. It is a rare tea garden in India that the owner company is a Sri Lankan company. Assam hybrid tea plants for high-quality tea are planted in some tea fields, and small-lot specialty teas are also made from tea leaves collected by careful hand-picking.

The Nilgiri Mountains, or the Blue Mountains

Blue-purple Kurinji flowers cover the entire mountain.

Nilgiri means "blue mountain" in the local language. The reason for this is said to be that once every 12 years, the Kurinji flowers bloom all at once here, making the mountains look blue. It seems that the last time it bloomed all at once in 2018, so it is said that the next flowering will be seen in 2030.
