Good morning, dear readers!
First week of the year 2024. What will your everyday life , like be in 2024? With what items will you surround yourself? Its not a surprise that everything happening in the world right now , the line between real and fake is getting blurry. So, we need to connect the people with authentic teas at least. As everyone is shopping online , knowing whats AUTHENTIC is a bit hard. To continue this trend I am starting a series on the authentic teas , something very specific to our brand .
I had been independently reading your reviews. As always I appreciate and thank you for subscribing reading and buying my teas. Please share it with your tea loving friends. Todays post is AUTHENTIC DARJEELING TEAS
HOW WILL YOU KNOW IT’S THE AUTHENTIC DARJEELING TEA YOU WANT ?WHICH ONE TO BUY?
Darjeeling tea is region specific. It might be black , white or oolong tea. You wont find this aroma in any other tea , anywhere in the world.
But unfortunately I have noticed that some do market their teas as Darjeeling ,at a very low price. But here lies the crux and customers are mislead. Customers see the price tag as low as Rs 250 for 100 gms and go for it . But readers that’s misleading . You might be having a tea that consists of blended ,flavoured tea from Nepal or Kenya or elsewhere. So please go through the following details and then buy the pure DARJEELING TEA :
- GI tag has to the there in the label. It represents that the tea is produced in Darjeeling area.
- All Indian DARJEELING TEA has to be GI TAGGED as specified by the Government and the Tea Board of India.
- The logo shows the word Darjeeling and an Indian women holding tea leaves all in a roundel.
- It holds a premium price in the domestic and global market.
- It possesses a unique flavour that cannot be replicated.
- The variant of Darjeeling tea is recognised as FLUSHES .Each flush has got a different taste and aroma.
- First flush tea leaves are a bit greenish in colour ,cause the leaves are tender. The liquor appears to be pale ,with a light golden hue.
- Second flush teas leaves are blackish in colour due to the matured leaves and processing method. It offers an exquisite aroma , darker liquor and amber colour cup.
- Autumn flush tea leaves are also darker colour a bit brownish. The liquor has a coppery golden hue. The flavour tends to be robust.
