Overview
Recommended for: tea lovers seeking a bright, citrusy black tea with smoky undertones.
Perched at elevations ranging 5,400 to 7,000 feet in the Nilgiri Hills of southern India, the Glendale Estate offers this distinctive black tea with long, twisted leaves that steep a beautiful amber liquor. The light toasty aroma is fragrant with hints of almond and oak, complemented by a sweet smoky whisper. The bright, lively cup refreshes with notes of stone fruit, citrus, and almond. Hints of spice bring a bittersweet nuance to the lingering finish.
