Upton Tea Imports CHATSFORD TEAPOT (6-CUP) Is 100% to Your Satisfaction Vol 29 No. 3 Holliston, Massachusetts Summer 2020 Quarterly Spring Harvest in Darjeeling The most anticipated time of the year is upon us – the first flush season in Darjeeling, India. The season usually begins in mid-February when the earth starts to warm up after the plants’ winter dormancy. The newly sprouting tea leaves are packed with stored nutrients and plucked by hand in the traditional way – two leaves and a bud. Batch sizes are limited and their quality is unparalleled. First flush teas are sometimes referred to as “sunshine in a cup,” with a flavor that is delicate and smooth yet so full of brightness. The fresh and slightly floral aroma is enthralling.

  • The Coloration and Glazing of the Teas of Commerce
    Art. VIII.- ?The Coloration and Glazing of the Teas of Commerce. By R.Warrington,F.C.S. (The Quarterly Journal of the Chemical Society, No. xiv. 1851. Art. xv. P. 156.) In the year 1839, on the 16th of August, a Report on the Manufacture of Teas in China and the kingdom of Assam was published by Mr C. A. Bruce ; and in this report, which was soon after republished in the Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal, it was stated that the articles used in glazing and co- louring various forms of the green teas especially, was indigo, with sulphate of lime.1 It appears now, according to the re- sults of positive analysis by Mr Warrington, that this colour never is communicated by means of indigo, but by another article much less costly, namely, Prussian blue or prussiate of iron. Mr Warrington shewed in a former communication to the Chemical Society in February 1844, that there are two kinds of green tea, known in commerce as the glazed and the un- glazed; that the glazed is coloured by the Chinese with a mixture of Prussian blue and gypsum, or sulphate of lime, to which a yellow vegetable colouring matter is sometimes added; that the unglazed kinds are merely dusted with a small quantity of gypsum powder ; and that in the specimen of what is called Canton gunpowder this glazing or facing is carried to the highest degree. Mr Warrington then also stated, that he had never met with a sample of green tea, in which the blue tint was given by means of indigo.

After water, tea is the most widely-consumed beverage in the world.[2] It has a cooling, slightly bitter, astringent flavour which many enjoy.[3] The four types of tea most commonly found on the market are black tea, oolong tea, green tea and white tea,[4] all of which can be made from the same bushes, processed differently, and in the case of fine white tea grown differently. Pu-erh tea, a post-fermented tea, is also often classified as amongst the most popular types of tea.[5] Green Tea leaves in a Chinese The term "herbal tea" usually refers to an infusion or tisane of gaiwan. leaves, flowers, fruit, herbs or other plant material that contains no Camellia sinensis.[6] The term "red tea" either refers to an infusion made from the South African rooibos plant, also containing no Camellia sinensis, or, in Chinese, Korean, Japanese and other East Asian languages, refers to black tea.
