Indian Tea

<h3 >Indian teas</h3>

<p >There are three main kinds of tea produced in India:</p>

<p>

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assam_tea" title="Assam tea" >Assam</a> - Assam tea comes from the northeastern section of the country. This heavily forested region is home to much wildlife, including the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhinoceros" title="Rhinoceros" >rhinoceros</a>. Tea from here is rich and full-bodied. It was in Assam that the first tea estate was established, in 1837.</p>

<p>

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darjeeling_tea" title="Darjeeling tea" >Darjeeling</a> - The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darjeeling" title="Darjeeling" >Darjeeling</a> region is cool and wet, and tucked in the foothills of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himalayas" title="Himalayas" >Himalayas</a>. The tea is delicately flavored, and considered to be one of the finest teas in the world. The Darjeeling plantations have 3 distinct harvests, termed 'flushes', and the tea produced from each flush has a unique flavor. First (spring) flush teas are light and aromatic, while the second (summer) flush produces tea with a bit more bite. The third, or autumn flush gives a tea that is lesser in quality.</p>

<p>

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nilgiri_tea" title="Nilgiri tea" >Nilgiri</a> - This tea comes from an even higher part of India than Darjeeling. This southern Indian region has elevations between 1,000 and 2,500 metres. The flavors of Nilgiri teas are subtle and rather gentle. They are frequently blended with other, more robust teas.</p>
