Similar
to wine, tea is affected greatly by the climate in which it
grows. Differences in soil and weather conditions give us a
rich mosaic of tea's many varieties and flavors. Altitude
also plays an important role. Tea plants grow slower at
higher altitudes, producing leaves with concentrated flavor.
Gourmet tea varieties are almost exclusively made from these
high-grown leaves. The more common low-growth varieties
typically end up on your supermarket shelf.
Tea is produced in over thirty countries around the world,
though the finest comes from just five: India, Sri Lanka,
China, Taiwan and Japan. Home to most of the world's tea
drinkers, these countries continue to pay much attention to
how tea is grown and processed. In many, tea continues to be
produced by hand in accordance with age-old traditions
Suggested
ratio is one teaspoon of leaves per cup of water. However,
the light and voluminous teas will taste best with twice
that. To steep, please use boiling water (212F) when
preparing black, dark oolong and herbal teas. And it's
important to use cooler (180F) water when steeping green,
light oolong and white teas. And remember to not over-steep,
or your tea will taste bitter. Rule of thumb is 5 min. for
most black, 7 min. for dark oolong and white, and only 3
min. for light oolong and green teas.
black teas
taste best when prepared with boiling water, and steeped for
five minutes. Recommended ratio is one teaspoon of leaves
per cup of water. The only black tea that deviates from this
rule is our Darjeeling Symphony no. 1. This is a delicate
First Flush tea that grows high along the slopes of the
Himalayas. This tea will taste best when prepared with
cooler water (180F) and steeped for three minutes.
green teas
taste best when prepared with water that is
cooler-than-boiling (180F) and steeped for three minutes.
Recommended ratio is one teaspoon per cup of water for the
relatively heavy Japanese greens (Sencha) and slightly more
for the light Chinese greens (Pi Lo Chun). Remember to use
cooler-than-boiling water. Otherwise your tea will taste
bitter. If using a kettle, water is ideal when it begins to
emit a 'rumble' sound. If using a microwave, look for the
tiny air bubbles forming. These are good signs that your
water is ready.
