Introduction
Tea is more than just a beverage; it’s a tradition, a ritual, and an experience enjoyed by millions worldwide. But what does it take to get that perfect cup of tea from the lush gardens of India to teacups across the globe? The answer lies in a meticulous journey of sourcing, processing, and blending that ensures each sip is filled with aroma, flavor, and freshness.
At The Harmony, we take pride in delivering authentic Indian tea, sourced from Darjeeling, Assam, and Siliguri, to businesses worldwide. In this blog, we explore the journey of tea—from its origins to the final packaged product.
Step 1: Sourcing – The Origin of Flavor
The quality of tea begins at the source. India is home to some of the finest tea plantations, each offering unique flavors and characteristics:
- Darjeeling Tea: Often called the “Champagne of Teas”, Darjeeling tea is known for its delicate muscatel flavor, floral aroma, and light golden color.
- Assam Tea: Grown in the lush plains of Assam, this tea is bold, malty, and rich, making it perfect for strong brews like masala chai.
- Siliguri Tea: A well-balanced option that combines aromatic richness with a smooth taste, ideal for everyday drinking.
In addition to these, The Harmony also sources teas from Kenya and Sri Lanka on demand, offering global buyers a diverse selection.
Step 2: Processing – Transforming Leaves into Perfection
Once harvested, tea leaves undergo different processing methods to create various types of tea:
- CTC Tea (Crush, Tear, Curl): These leaves are processed into granules, giving them a strong, bold taste—perfect for milk-based teas. Popular grades include BP, BPSM, BOP, OF, and PD.
- Orthodox Tea: This includes whole-leaf teas, known for their complex flavors and aromatic depth, preferred in premium markets.
- Liquor Tea: A unique offering from The Harmony, designed for health-conscious consumers who prefer tea without milk or sugar.
