Glenfern Nilgiri First Flush

Glenfern Nilgiri First Flush – High-Elevation South Indian First Flush Black Tea

Glenfern Nilgiri First Flush is a neatly rolled black tea produced with care in the green Nilgiris District of Tamil Nadu, India, close to the historic Nilgiri Mountain Railway. Grown at high elevation in the “Blue Mountains, ” this first-flush harvest is valued for its lively character and pronounced fragrance.

Brewed, Glenfern Nilgiri shows a rich, multi-layered profile. The aroma is sweet and inviting, and the liquor is fresh and full-bodied with notes of ripe plum and subtle florals. It strikes a refined balance: floral and brisk in the manner of a fine Ceylon, yet smooth and nuanced, with a raisin-like touch that recalls a classic China Keemun. The character is brisk yet smooth, and the finish bright, clean and graceful. The combination of brightness and depth makes it a strong choice for customers who want a vibrant, aromatic black tea with elegance. Nilgiri teas are also well known for staying smooth and clear when iced, so this tea performs in both hot and cold programs. It can be served plain or with a splash of milk as a morning cup, brewed strong for a crisp iced tea, and paired with fruit, pastries and light breakfast dishes.
