This Single Estate Black tea comes from the Glendale estate in Nilgiri, South India.  Glendale is one of the premiere tea estates of the Nilgiri district and noted for its superb flavor with hints of jammy character. This OP or "orange pekoe" grade exhibits the classic South Indian tea taste with floral-like flavor, medium strength and a bright coppery colour in the cup. 
The estate employs nearly 2500 people and if you consider the average family size is 4, the estate supports nearly 10,000 people, certainly a large social responsibility. More than 60% of the estate workers are women. Workers and their families are given accommodation on the estate and they are provided with schooling for their children, medical clinics for ailments and places of worship. The Glendale tea estate is a model employer in Nilgiri, India!
