Kinds of tea leaves


There are various kinds also in tea. Tea is classified as tea leaves which are different for every place of production. I will introduce three famous tea of India this topic.

Darjeeling
Darjeeling is one of the summer resorts known best in India. The center of a town is located at high ground called the altitude of 2300 m. The difference in temperature of a tea garden of daytime and every morning and evening is large, fog occurs almost every day, and the cold wind of Himalaya dispels the fog. If fog is dispelled, the sunlight of daytime will dry damp tea leaves. The tightened astringent taste full tea like making muscat to the extent that this peculiar environment is called "the champagne of tea" consider in which it is fragrant and gives invigoration, and taste with deep rich are induced. Since the tea leaves of Darjeeling have peculiar aroma and taste, in order to employ it efficiently, tea leaves are hardly broken.

Assam
Although more than half of tea production in the world is a product from India, a half is a product from Assam. That is, 1/4 of the tea in the world is Assam tea. This Assam tea is almost used for the chai drunk daily in India. Assam showers on a lot of the monsoon which is a vast plain in contrast with Darjeeling, and became wet rain. Furthermore, vapor from a nearby river serves as rain and fog, and it makes tea leaves become wet.
This overwhelming moisture has produced the astringent taste unique to Assam tea. The taste gives rich with a peculiar deep astringent taste. Furthermore, it is fragrant and a color is also thick. So, it is good to drink as tea with milk.

Nilgiri
Nilgiri is famous as a place of production of the tea of India along with Darjeeling and Assam. If it is called the tea of India, it will be the feature that the character of flavor has clarified like Darjeeling or Assam. However, since a place is close to Sri Lanka and climate of Nilgiri is alike, the taste which is free from vice like Ceylon tea is the feature.

A tea garden is the place which it is on a gently-sloping hill, and there is a difference in temperature of every morning and evening and daytime, and was suitable for cultivation of tea. The taste of Nilgiri tea -- what is called -- it is "neutral". It is not so characteristic as Darjeeling or Assam. On the contrary, it is large tea of a very user-friendly use.

History of black tea



How did tea spread in the world?
The brown place of origin is a large area which reaches Assam in India centering on the southern part of China. Use of tea leaves began from southern China in the ethnic minority who lives in a mountain range, and spread to whole China by the Han race.
According to record, it is supposed that it was drunk from around the 4th century.
Tea was not necessarily a liquid from the beginning. At the time, tea shaved the solid and was drunk as labor. However, since a big labor was for making this, it did not develop. And it became a style which fills tea leaves with hot water like the present age.

It is carried out around 1610 that tea was imported by Europe. This was carried not in the Silk Road but in the sea route. If it is called tea, you will visualize Britain.
then, it will be when that tea was first imported by Britain ? This was imported from the Netherlands prosperous those days. The Netherlands bought tea leaves from Japan or China around 1610. And it came to sell to Germany, France, Britain, etc. in 1630.

In the Netherlands at this time, tea was mainly drunk by the upper classes. The Dutch were putting in and drinking expensive sugar in bitter tea. How to drink moved from the cup to the saucer, and was drinking. Moreover, the way of drinking into which milk is put recently also spread. Britain took the leadership of trade with China from the Netherlands taking advantage of war of Britain and the Netherlands in 1652. And the Orientalism of Britain increased. Ordinary homes purchase a Chinese teapot and teacup and came to drink tea.

In 1700, the green tea and the oolong tea in which the quality of the tea which Britain imported from China is bad were almost the case. Aristocrats using a silver pot and the pot of pottery, brewing tea in front of a visitor, and enjoying conversation prevailed around 1720.

Then, how was tea produced? When carrying tea to Britain from "China as a famous opinion, humidity and temperature became high, fermented and tea was made. There is the opinion ". This is a mistake. It is because tea cannot be built from green tea.
Tea is made by people's hand. Oolong tea was evolved in China and tea was made.
The oolong tea imported by Britain in early stages was quite crude. There were some which have mixed an unrelated plant and impurities into tea in inside. Moreover, since the direction of oolong tea passed the oil and fat content in a mouth in the least on the eating habits of a meat subject, oolong tea was popular in Britain.

In the time of the Industrial Revolution, and Britain, tea became a popular drink further. It was recommended tea drank also by a health aspect rather than having drunk an alcoholic beverage. The way of drinking which how to drink tea also brews thinness and drinks straight. It brewed deeply, and it changed so that milk and sugar might be added and drunk. Thus, when it entered in the 19th century, Britain developed original tea culture.
