Tea, a favourite drink to start our day
Darjeeling Tea looks golden.
Tea has become part of our life. Some people choose green tea, some people choose black tea. Normally we have tea with milk and sugar. This tea is grown in various parts of country. Assam and Darjeeling teas are among popular teas.
Do you know what is the difference in these teas?
The Two Main Differences Between Assam and Darjeeling Tea
i) Climate
Assam has shorter winters and hot, humid summers with exhaustive rainfall. This type of climate is perfect for tea cultivation. By comparison, Darjeeling has a smaller area with harsher and colder weather, which slows down the growth rate of tea. This makes it difficult to grow tea, but when it does grow, Darjeeling clearly does a better job in terms of quality, aroma, and flavor.
ii) Harvest
Assam has three harvest seasons, namely the first flush, second flush, and autumn flush. There is also a monsoonal variety that is produced just after the summers once the rainfall starts. Teas in the Assam first flush have a fresh, flowery, fragrant character with golden hues. The teas in the Assam second flush have a malty, spicy character with deep brown hues. Whereas the Assam autumn flush produces less fine teas with lighter liquors.
Darjeeling tea benefits from four harvest seasons – first flush, second flush, third flush, and autumn flush.
Teas in the first flush have a delicate floral flavor and are high in polyphenolic content that displays a small degree of astringency due to the colder weather. The tea leaves do not reach high levels of oxidation.
Teas in the second flush are more mature, fruity, and muscatel in flavor. The majority of produce from Darjeeling comes from the second flush.
Teas in the third flush are harvested after heavy rainfall in September. They have a deep color with stronger flavors. Thanks to the heavy rain and abundant heat, the tea leaves grow rapidly.
Teas in autumn flush have large leaves that yield naturally fruity flavors that are rich and smooth.
