GLENDALE Green Tea - 150 Years of Green Tea Heritage

Experience the purity and wellness of GLENDALE Green Tea, a premium high-grown Nilgiris green tea from one of the region's most prestigious estates with 150 years of tea-making heritage. This exceptional green tea delivers rich antioxidants, delicate flavor, and the distinctive character that only a historic estate can provide.

Glendale Estate - 150 Years of Tea Heritage:

Established in the 1870s, Glendale Tea Estate is one of the oldest and most renowned tea gardens in the Nilgiri Hills. Nestled at elevations between 1,700-2,200 meters, this historic estate has been producing exceptional teas for over a century and a half. The estate's rich heritage, combined with the cool mountain climate, misty mornings, and volcanic soil, creates ideal conditions for cultivating premium green tea with exceptional antioxidant content and delicate flavor.

High-Grown Excellence:

Our GLENDALE Green Tea is grown at high elevations, where the cool mountain climate and pristine environment suit the tea bushes beautifully. The high-elevation terroir imparts exceptional quality—tea leaves grown at higher altitudes develop more slowly, concentrating their natural antioxidants, polyphenols, and delicate flavors.

Traditional Green Tea Processing:

Unlike oxidized black teas, our green tea undergoes minimal processing to preserve its natural green color, fresh character, and maximum antioxidant content. Skilled tea artisans at Glendale Estate carefully process each batch using traditional methods perfected over 150 years, ensuring the leaves retain their beneficial catechins, vitamins, and aromatic compounds. This artisanal approach results in a green tea with exceptional purity and natural goodness.

Flavor Profile - Pure & Refreshing:

Experience the delicate, refreshing character of premium Nilgiris green tea. GLENDALE Green Tea delivers a smooth, slightly sweet cup with fresh grassy notes and subtle vegetal undertones. The clean, crisp finish and naturally sweet aftertaste make it perfect for enjoying plain or with a touch of honey. The high-grown terroir imparts a unique elegance and refinement.

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.
