Our Bureau The first level screening of teas for the 14th edition of the Golden Leaf India Awards (TGLIA) took place on March 3 at the UPASI, Coonoor.
A 5-member panel represented by leading tea brokers evaluated the teas.
There were 156 entries from 50 estates for this edition of TGLIA as against 123 entries at the last edition.
Arun Kumar, Convener-Organising Committee, TGLIA, said that the competition was becoming intense year-after-year with the participating estates striving to produce better teas.
The teas that qualify the first level screening will be screened for pesticide residue and heavy metals in the NABL accredited laboratory of the UPASI Tea Research Institute. The final tasting session would coincide with the 7th Global Dubai Tea Forum, scheduled in Dubai on April 25 and the results would be announced the following day, he said.
The competition is organised jointly by the Tea Board of India and the United Planters Association of Southern India (UPASI).
