Nilgiri First Flush: Glenfern GFOP 2023
Well-rounded, fruity and smooth, this beautifully wiry first flush has all the elegance that you would hope in a Nilgiri. Medium bodied and deeply bronze in the cup, it has the deeply floral character of a good Ceylon crossed with a plummy, almost raisin-like notes of a China Keemun. Glenfern is located near Coonoor in Tamil Nadu state, not far from the Nilgiri Mountain Railway. Use one teaspoon per cup and one for the pot with freshly drawn and boiled water. Infuse for five minutes. Best drunk without milk.
Tea from Grey's Teas
Our teas are loose leaf and we specialise in large leaf grades. All are made using traditional orthodox methods. Our teas are from named tea gardens or defined areas of origin.
Sourcing our tea
Nilgiri First Flush has been chosen for its distinctive, balanced flavour, aroma and appearance. Our tea is carefully sourced from long-established shippers. We can therefore guarantee the quality and origin of each tea and that it conforms to UK food and drink health regulations and our own demanding grading requirements.
The benefits of loose leaf tea
This Nilgiri First Flush enables the full flavour characteristics of the tea to infuse. This tea is chosen for its high grade which imparts the flavour and aroma characteristics for which this tea is best known. A little extra time is necessary when infusing large leaf grades but you will be rewarded with a superior, more balanced cup. You will be well rewarded for your patience!

A refreshing tea.
Quite subtle and smooth in flavour.
Light and soft – probably would benefit from being drunk without the addition of milk.
