The Hindu Business Line : Record price for Glendale tea

Kochi Feb. 21 An invoice of handmade specialty tea offered from Glenworth Estate Ltd from its Glendale estate in Coonoor fetched a record price of Rs 625 per kg at the Cochin Leaf Auction Sale No 8 on Thursday. The tea was auctioned by M/s J Thomas & Company and bought by Amit Tea Agency, Cochin for their principal M/s Premier Tea Limited, Calcutta. The invoice represented top quality specialty manufacture, a press release issued here has said.

P.S. Sundar reports from Coonoor: “The invoice represented top quality specialty manufacture,” said a spokesman of J. Thomas.
