Glenfern Nilgiri First Flush

Glenfern Nilgiri First Flush – Bright, Aromatic South Indian Black Tea

Our Glenfern Nilgiri First Flush is a beautifully rolled black tea crafted with precision in the lush Nilgiris District of Tamil Nadu, India, not far from the historic Nilgiri Mountain Railway. Grown at high elevations in the "Blue Mountains, " this first-flush tea is known for its lively character and bold fragrance.

Once brewed, Glenfern Nilgiri reveals a rich, multi-layered profile. Its aroma is sweet and inviting, while the liquor delivers a fresh, full-bodied taste with notes of ripe plum and subtle florals. The cup offers a refined balance — floral and brisk like a fine Ceylon, yet smooth and nuanced, with a raisin-like hint reminiscent of a classic China Keemun.
