This is to
inform you that the 2012 tea season is just about to begin! India produces some
of the best Black teas in the world. The spring harvest of the Darjeeling
region is one of my favorites which produces very tasty and healthy black teas
with a mild and fruity after taste.
What is so
special about the spring harvest?
The spring
harvest is produced from the younger leaves which means more concentration of
anti-oxidants, caffeine and theanine and minimal concentration & absorption
of local contaminants (pollution).
From my personal
experience, spring harvest produces the best teas with some exceptions of
summer harvest for some Oolong teas that I will share with you in future articles.
What I’m
proposing to you is a weekly review of 2012 black teas from the spring harvest
so please stay tuned for weekly articles.
