Explore the rich history and diverse flavors of two iconic tea regions - Assam and Darjeeling. Let's delve into the origins, unique characteristics, and health benefits of these exceptional teas.
Assam Tea: A Journey of Discovery
In 1823, Scottish adventurer Robert Bruce discovered wild tea-like plants near Rangpur, leading to the birth of Assam tea cultivation. Known for its robust and brisk profile, Assam tea thrives in the region's hot and humid conditions along the Brahmaputra River. Two main varieties, orthodox tea and Assam CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl) tea, are produced by Assam's tea estates. The diverse range of teas, including the famous "tippy" tea with a fuller body and sweeter flavor, is available from the first flush in March to the second flush in June.
Darjeeling Tea: Essence of Elevation
Darjeeling, a town of stunning views, has a tea legacy dating to 1841, introduced by Arthur Campbell. It gained global recognition as the first tea with a GI tag. Darjeeling offers diverse teas in three harvest seasons: Spring, Summer, and Autumn, each with distinct flavors. Tea estates, covering 17,500 hectares at elevations of 2500 to 5000 feet, produce classic black, green, white, and oolong teas. Graded teas like SFTGFOP, FTGBOP, and GFOF determine quality and price, making Darjeeling teas prized globally.
