Tea variety
Tea variety refers to the specific type or cultivar of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) used to produce different teas. Variations arise from the plant’s genetic makeup, growing environment, and processing methods. Common varieties include Assam and Darjeeling, each with unique flavors, aromas, and characteristics. These differences influence the taste, appearance, and aroma of the brewed tea. Understanding tea varieties helps enthusiasts select and appreciate teas based on their preferred flavor profiles, whether they enjoy robust, earthy, floral, or delicate notes.
