Organic Black Tea – The Best Loved Tea Sets the Bar Higher
Although green tea is steadily gaining up on black tea in popularity, majority of tea aficionados, particularly in the west, still prefer black over green. One of the reasons is because black tea has a stronger taste and aroma than its green counterpart. Black tea is also known to have more caffeine and generally has a longer shelf life.
There are two extremely popular kinds of black tea: Darjeeling and Assam. Both types got their names from the regions from which they were and are primarily grown. Darjeeling is mainly found in the Darjeeling region of India while Assam is found in the Assam region, also in India. They can easily be identified at first sight since the plants that produce Darjeeling teas have small leaves, while those of Assam have large leaves.
This type of naming convention has been patterned after another popular European beverage: wine. The really prized wines are those that are named after the regions from which they are grown. Burgundy, Bordeaux, and of course, Champagne are examples of such beverages.
The same concept holds true with teas. Darjeeling and Assam are thus the best types of teas. Hence, as the demand for tea increases due to their alleged health benefits, Darjeeling and Assam are at the forefront of this shoot up in popularity.
Today, people are concerned not only for their own welfare but for nature as well. As such, moves to go ‘green’ are extremely popular. This has resulted in the drive to grow edible plants, including teas, organically. Hence, organic herbal teas are in demand nowadays.
Thus, you can see more tea producers promoting their organic green tea and organic black tea products. Labels announcing that the products inside their packaging are ‘organically grown’ are no longer surprising to see. Organic Darjeeling and organic Assam teas are steadily becoming in demand.
The argument for preferring organic herbal teas is understandable especially from an environment-friendly perspective. If the vast tracks of land that grow tea plants use harmful chemicals that destroy the environment and take large carbon footprints to produce, then the negative effects can far outweigh the positive effects, i.e., being bearers of anti-oxidants.
