Assam tea is a type of black tea that is produced in the Assam region of India. Known for its strong and rich flavor, Assam tea is a popular choice for tea enthusiasts around the world. Let's explore the production process of Assam tea.
The production of Assam tea starts with the tea plants, which are primarily grown in the Brahmaputra Valley of Assam. The region's rich soil and unique climate provide ideal conditions for tea cultivation. The tea plants used for Assam tea are of the Camellia sinensis var. assamica variety, which is native to the region.
Assam tea is usually grown on large tea estates, which can range in size from a few hectares to several hundred hectares. The tea plants are propagated from seeds or through cuttings and are grown in nurseries before being transplanted to the main tea fields. The plants require a warm and humid climate, with temperatures ranging between 80°F and 90°F (27°C and 32°C) and an annual rainfall of around 100 inches (250 cm).
Once the tea plants are ready for harvesting, the leaves are plucked by hand. The plucking is typically done every 7 to 10 days, and only the top two leaves and a bud are harvested. This selective plucking ensures that the tea leaves are of high quality and produce a flavorful cup of tea.
After plucking, the tea leaves undergo several processing steps to convert them into Assam tea. The first step is withering, where the leaves are spread out on large trays to remove excess moisture. This process takes around 14 to 18 hours and helps to reduce the leaf's moisture content.
Next, the withered leaves are rolled to release the natural juices and enzymes. Rolling breaks the cell walls in the leaves and starts the oxidation process, which gives Assam tea its characteristic flavor and color. The leaves are then oxidized for a specific duration based on the desired strength and flavor of the tea. This process can range from 1 to 3 hours.
After oxidation, the leaves are fired in large ovens to halt the oxidation process. Firing also helps to remove any remaining moisture from the leaves. The fired leaves are then sorted based on their size, with larger leaves used for loose leaf tea and smaller leaves used for tea bags.
Finally, the sorted leaves are packaged and shipped to various markets around the world. Assam tea is known for its rich malty flavor, strong body, and bright liquor. It is often enjoyed with milk and sugar and makes an excellent breakfast tea.
