Glenburn Tea Estate: how the best Darjeeling tea is made!
Parveez Arshad Hussain, Manager of Glenburn Tea Estate speaks about how the best Darjeeling tea is made.
Glenburn is a heavenly little plantation retreat that lies on a hillock above the banks of the River Rangeet / Rungeet, high in the Himalayas, overlooked by the mighty Kanchenjunga mountain range.
Started by a Scottish tea company in 1859, Glenburn then passed into the hands of one of India’s pioneering tea planting families - The Prakashes, One of India's pioneering tea-planting families, we have, over the years, come to be known as the “Chaiwala family“ - which literally means “tea planters“.
The story of the Chaiwala family began over a hundred years ago, and is closely entwined with that of tea plantations in India. Today, the third and fourth generation Prakash family carry almost a century of tea knowledge in their inheritance, and we invite you to experience this legacy at Glenburn.
The “tea estate” experience was inspired by the vineyards of Europe and other parts of the world, where visitors observe the wine-making process, taste the wine and shop for wine, local crafts and produce. We found the whole experience educational and very interesting, and were inspired to open our own tea estate for tourists who may be interested in knowing about how a tea leaf makes it to their tea cup.
On her very first visit to Glenburn, Husna-Tara Prakash decided this was the spot for such an experience. It was simply the most heavenly place. In addition to the “tea experience” we could also offer the guests a “walking” experience, and Glenburn remains one of the few destinations in India where you can walk all day and return to luxury at night. We grow our own fresh herbs, spices and many fruit and vegetables, making the experience a “foodie” one as well, with an emphasis on using local ingredients to create mouth watering, unique menus.

HOW CAN WE GET PERMISSION TO SEE TEA PROCESSING IN YOUR FACTORY?
I can't hear him speak very well :( the music is far too loud for this video EDIT: i'm able to hear his voice now using a stereo headset, because the audio has been edited where the music is my right ear and his voice is my left ear, weird
I hope I get a chance to go to Darjeeling soon and visit your tea compound. Where are you exactly located?

Glenburn is one of the best - located within an hour's driving around Darjeeling. Lovely drive, too! You must visit. Lots of lovely tea gardens in all directions! Thanks for viewing, Peter!

Technically, you should. First flush dates vary with location and season, but March should be about right! Thanks for viewing, TS50ER!

Does Darjeeling tea taste as good as it's reputation claims it to be?!

+Infinite Sky Indeed it does. But then there are Darjeeling teas and there are Darjeeling teas. Not all of them are unique. There are some lesser gardens here too! Thanks for viewing, Infinite Sky!

+Infinite Sky Its OK although not as much my favorite as pure Ceylon or something like that - its a little bit fine and somewhat bitter and soapy at first although it has a nice aftertaste. Something of an acquired taste

Darjeeling is a tea region, and every tea region is a whole world, you can find stellar examples and tea dust too, so is it with all tea regions, there is no one great quality product, it changes year after year, depending on the weather, on the skill of the tea master, and blender. I am mostly a chinese oolong tea drinker, but my curiosity made me try a huge variety of teas from different tea regions, and I had great darjeelings too, they can be on par with the best teas out there, they all have a caracter a certain mountain flavour that is only present in darjeeling tea, for example I could find similarities between chinese teas, even some japanese sencha share flavour notes with some chinese green teas, but darjeeling tea seems to taste very diffrent from any type of tea.

Are the teabags bio-degradable?
