GLENDALE Superior Black Tea 50g - Premium Single Garden Nilgiri Tea

Discover the exceptional quality of GLENDALE Superior Black Tea, a premium single-garden tea from the legendary GLENDALE Estate. This 50g pack is perfect for tea enthusiasts who want to experience the finest Nilgiri black tea from a 150-year heritage estate—ideal for sampling or gifting to fellow tea connoisseurs.

GLENDALE Estate - 150 Years of Tea Excellence:

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.

Single Garden Tea - 100% GLENDALE:

This is a single-garden tea, meaning every leaf comes exclusively from GLENDALE Estate—not blended with teas from other gardens. Single-garden teas offer distinctive character and terroir that reflect the unique microclimate, soil, and craftsmanship of one specific estate. This authenticity and traceability make GLENDALE Superior Black Tea a premium choice for tea connoisseurs who appreciate origin and quality.

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

GLENDALE Superior Black Tea is a high-grown tea, cultivated at elevations above 1,800 meters where cooler temperatures slow leaf growth and concentrate flavor compounds. The high-altitude environment produces tea with exceptional brightness, complex aroma, and the distinctive Nilgiri character that sets it apart from teas grown at lower elevations. This elevation advantage delivers superior quality in every cup.

Orthodox Processing - Traditional Craftsmanship:

Crafted using the traditional orthodox method, GLENDALE Superior Black Tea preserves the natural character and delicate aroma of the tea leaves. Master tea makers carefully monitor withering, rolling, oxidation, and drying to develop the tea's full flavor potential. This artisanal approach creates tea with superior quality, complex flavor layers, and the refined character that orthodox processing is famous for.

Why Nilgiris Tea is Different

The Nilgiris — India's Blue
Mountains — grows tea at 6,000 feet above sea level, where the combination of
cool temperatures (15–20°C year-round), two annual monsoons, and mineral-rich
volcanic soil creates 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.



Brewing Guide:

How to Brew the Perfect Cup

 FOR MILK CHAI
(Traditional Indian Method):

1. Add 200ml water to a saucepan
and bring to 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 degrees
Celsius (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.



Freshness and Storage

Freshness, Storage and Shelf
Life

 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 mold and
off-flavors)

— Strong odours (tea absorbs
surrounding aromas rapidly)

— Heat above 30 degrees Celsius

 

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.

 

DISPATCH: All OotyMade teas are dispatched within 48 hours of order
confirmation.
