| Our Teas from India |
India is the largest producer of tea in the world and accounts for 14 to 18% of all world exports of tea.
There are three primary tea growing regions in India:
Darjeeling, Assam, and Nilgiri. To ensure that the consumer is getting pure Darjeeling, Assam, or Nilgiri, the Tea Board of India created the following logos, all of which are found on our premium
loose teas: |
Darjeeling - The Champagne of Teas
Named for the Darjeeling province in India, this fine black tea is another worth trying. The Darjeeling region also produces excellent green and oolong teas. The black teas have a delicate flavour but are still full-bodied. |
Assam - It's grown in northern regions of India.
Mostly, CTC (Crush-Tear-Curl) Tea are produced here, along with a smaller quantity of Orthodox (Leaf Teas) as well. A very full-bodied tea, but without the hint of spice found in Keemun. The flavour is strong and rich, and great with breakfast, ideal for
Milk Tea. |
Nilgiri - grown in the South Central region of India
A lighter and more delicate black tea, from India. This tea is excellent for the novice brewer, as it is a bit more forgiving if not steeped quite right. |
