Nestled at elevations between 1,800-2,200 meters in the Western Ghats, this single-garden estate has been producing premium orthodox teas for over 150 years. The estate's commitment to traditional tea-making methods, combined with the unique terroir of the Nilgiris, creates teas with distinctive character that have earned international recognition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHigh-Grown Single Garden Tea:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003esingle-garden tea\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning every leaf comes exclusively from GLENDALE Estate—not blended with teas from other gardens. High-grown at elevations above 1,800 meters, the tea plants benefit from cool mountain temperatures (15-20°C), abundant rainfall, and misty conditions that slow leaf growth and concentrate flavor compounds. This high-altitude advantage produces tea with exceptional aroma, bright liquor, and complex flavor notes that distinguish Nilgiri orthodox teas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrthodox Processing - Traditional Craftsmanship:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrthodox tea processing\u003c\/strong\u003e is the traditional, artisanal method that preserves the whole leaf structure and natural character of the tea. Unlike CTC (crush-tear-curl) processing, orthodox method involves careful hand-plucking of two leaves and a bud, followed by withering, rolling, oxidation, and drying—each step monitored by skilled tea makers. This labor-intensive process retains the tea's natural oils, delicate aroma, and nuanced flavors, resulting in a superior cup that true tea connoisseurs appreciate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFlavor Profile - Bright \u0026amp; Aromatic:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGLENDALE Orthodox Tea delivers a \u003cstrong\u003ebright, golden liquor\u003c\/strong\u003e with exceptional aroma and smooth, well-rounded flavor.
