GLENDALE Supreme BOP Tea 250g - Premium Broken Orange Pekoe Nilgiri Tea

Experience the exceptional strength and brisk character of GLENDALE Supreme BOP Tea, a premium Broken Orange Pekoe tea from the legendary GLENDALE Estate. BOP grade represents the perfect balance between whole leaf quality and robust strength—ideal for those who love a strong, full-bodied cup with the refined character of orthodox processing and 150 years of tea-making heritage.

BOP Grade - Broken Orange Pekoe Excellence:

BOP (Broken Orange Pekoe) is a premium orthodox tea grade where whole leaves are intentionally broken into smaller pieces during processing. This creates a tea that brews faster and stronger than whole leaf grades while maintaining the superior quality and character of orthodox processing. BOP is the preferred grade for those who want a robust, full-bodied cup with exceptional strength—perfect for morning chai or anytime you need an energizing brew.

GLENDALE Estate - 150 Years of Tea Heritage:

Established in the 1870s, GLENDALE Tea Estate is one of the Nilgiris' most prestigious single-garden estates, renowned for producing India's finest orthodox teas. Nestled at elevations between 1,800-2,200 meters in the Western Ghats UNESCO World Heritage region, GLENDALE benefits from ideal terroir—cool mountain temperatures (15-20°C), abundant rainfall, misty mornings, and rich volcanic soil. This 150-year legacy of tea-making excellence ensures every batch meets the highest standards of quality and flavor.

High-Grown Quality - 1,800-2,200m Elevation:

GLENDALE Supreme BOP is a high-grown tea, cultivated at elevations above 1,800 meters where cooler temperatures and misty conditions produce superior quality leaves. The high-altitude environment concentrates flavor compounds, increases polyphenol content, and creates the distinctive bright, brisk character that Nilgiri teas are famous for. This elevation advantage delivers exceptional strength without bitterness.

Orthodox Processing - Traditional Craftsmanship:

Unlike mass-produced CTC teas, GLENDALE Supreme BOP is crafted using the traditional orthodox method. Skilled tea makers carefully monitor withering, rolling, oxidation, and drying to develop the tea's full flavor potential. The leaves are then intentionally broken to the perfect size for optimal brewing—creating a tea that combines orthodox quality with robust strength and quick brewing convenience.

The Nilgiris — India's Blue Mountains — grows tea at 6,000 feet above sea level, where cool year-round temperatures (15–20°C), two annual monsoons, and mineral-rich volcanic soil create growing conditions found nowhere else in India.

At this altitude, tea plants grow more slowly. Slower growth concentrates the natural compounds — polyphenols, catechins, aromatic oils — that give Nilgiris tea its characteristic brightness, natural sweetness, and clean, clear liquor.

What makes OotyMade's tea range unique is traceability. We source from named estates — Kannavarai, Homewood, Darmona, Homedale, Silver Oak — so you know exactly which garden your tea comes from. No anonymous blends. No imported material. Just the Blue Mountains.

All teas are packed fresh at source and dispatched within 48 hours of your order.

For Milk Chai (Traditional Indian Method)

1. Add 200ml water to a saucepan and bring to a boil.
2. Add 1 heaped teaspoon (3–4g) of tea powder.
3. Simmer for 2–3 minutes on medium heat.
4. Add 50–75ml full-fat milk.
5. Simmer for 1 more minute.
6. Add sugar to taste, strain, and serve immediately.

For Black Tea (Plain, Without Milk)

1. Heat water to 90–95°C (just below boiling).
2. Add 1 teaspoon tea powder per 200ml.
3. Steep for 2–3 minutes maximum.
4. Strain immediately into your cup.
5. Add lemon or honey if desired — never milk with black tea.

For Iced Tea

1. Brew double-strength (2 teaspoons per 200ml).
2. Steep for 3 minutes.
3. Strain directly over a glass full of ice.
4. Add lemon slices and honey.

Nilgiris tea stays crystal clear when iced — no cloudiness.

Shelf life: 12–18 months from packing date when stored correctly.

All tea is packed fresh at source and vacuum-sealed or airtight-sealed before dispatch.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight (degrades chlorophyll and antioxidants), moisture (causes mould and off-flavours), strong odours (tea absorbs surrounding aromas rapidly), and heat above 30°C.

Best practice

Transfer to a ceramic or glass airtight container on receipt — a dedicated tea tin stored in a kitchen cabinet is ideal.

Signs of freshness

Fresh Nilgiris tea has a bright, clean aroma on opening. If the aroma has faded significantly, the tea is past its prime — though still safe to consume.
