“Our tea won this Medal in ‘Black orthodox general’ category after passing through rigorous evaluation including technical aspects by international jury”, Glenworth Director K Gopal Krishnan told Business Line .

“While this acknowledges the selection of our tea as ‘world class’, consumers around the world are assured of a unique variety of tea. Following our winning the Medal, our tea gets showcased in Annual 2018 Buyers’ Guide distributed worldwide digitally. We have also got the opportunity to showcase our Medal winning tea in the ‘Winners’ Tasting Circle’ of the ‘World Tea Expo’. All these bring credit to the Indian tea industry”, he said.

“The ‘Glendale Orange Twist’ tea is manufactured from single clone of very high quality sporting yellow leaves with the buds covered with fair amount of pubescence. The carefully plucked leaves are processed in the technologically advanced tea factory under strict hygienic conditions supervised by skilled experts who detect optimum oxidation”, he explained.

“The liquor is typically golden orange in colour and hence the name ‘Glendale Orange Twist’. Its soothing floral aroma and smooth liquor strength which lingers for long as an after-taste makes this tea unique to the consumers”, he disclosed.

“Besides tea connoisseurs in different parts of India, this tea is preferred in the UK and rest of Europe, the US, Taiwan and Japan”, Gopal Krishnan added.
