Tea is a beverage commonly prepared by pouring hot water
over processed leaves of the tea plant ( sometimes boiling with milk
also). After water, Tea is the
most widely consumed beverage in the world. It has a cooling and astringent flavour
that many people enjoy. "Single Estate" refers to any tea that comes
from only one Tea Estate or garden or specific Tea plantation as opposed to
being a blend from various estates. Single Estate Tea is unblended. These teas
tend to have unique characteristics particular to that estate for that season.
Single estate tea can be identified by the name of the estate. The flavor,
quality and character of tea depends on the region, the altitude, the type of
soil and climate in which it is grown. Because of variables in weather, single
estate teas can never be exactly the same each time. The region in which a tea
is grown can influence its flavor in profound ways. Even if the production
process is similar, geographical factors such as climate and soil can
change how the final tea tastes. Single origin tea allows to experience the
diversity of flavors and aromas of tea produced in different regions.
