DIFFERENCE B|W ASSAM TEA & DARJELLING TEA
Assam and Darjeeling Teas are named after the regions in which they are grown. Although Assam and Darjeeling lie next to each other, vast differences exist between the aroma, color, and taste of teas in the two regions due to cultivation methods.
Region
Assam lies in the lowlands of northeast Bengal, whereas Darjeeling lies in the highlands on the foothills of the Himalayas. Assam has a climate similar to South East Asia. It receives lots of rainfall throughout the year and features rich soil with hot temperatures.
The soil of Assam is clayish due to the Brahmaputra river valley. A total of 800 tea estates in Assam produce the Assamica variety.
The favourable climatic conditions of Assam make it the number one tea-producing region. That is why most of the Indian tea is cultivated in Assam.
On the other hand, Darjeeling features harsher weather with a colder climate which slows down tea production. It is cultivated on the slopes of Kanchenjunga Peaks, which do not receive much rainfall. More than 80 tea estates cultivate Darjeeling Tea, which is demanded by people across the globe.
Flavour
Assam tea has a dark brownish colour, whereas Darjeeling tea has a slight greenish tinge. Assam tea has a strong and nutty taste and is recommended to drink with milk and sugar. The climate of Darjeeling infuses a strong and spicy flavour in Darjeeling tea, due to which it is recommended to drink it without milk or sugar.
Availability
Since Assam receives extensive rain throughout the year, it produces tea all year round. Also, Assam has a wider region than Darjeeling. Therefore, it produces more tea. On the other hand, Darjeeling has a shorter area and colder climate, producing less tea annually. Also, Assam is generally cheaper than Darjeeling due to its availability
Tea Leaf Grading
After drying the teas, a considerable difference exists in their shape and size. It is essential to separate them based on their appearance to make brewing easier. Different grades are used to identify teas, such as:
- OP/Orange Pekoe: This is the basic grade given to black Teas.
- FOP/Flowery Orange Pekoe: A grade given to larger tea leaves plucked from new shoots.
- GFOP/ Golden Flowery Pekoe: GFOP indicates the golden tip of the tea buds.
- TGFOP/Tippy Golden Flower Orange Pekoe: It indicates the number of golden tips present in the tea.
- FTGFOP/Finest Tippy Golden Orange Pekoe: This is a grade given to exceptionally fine teas of premium quality.
- SFTGFOP/Special Finest Tippy Golden Orange Pekoe: This grade indicates that the tea is very rare.
Conclusion
Both Assam and Darjeeling Teas are good in their domain. People who like strong and nutty taste prefer Assam tea, whereas people who like a spicy taste prefer Darjeeling tea.
