(E) Specification

Tea plants of ASSAM (Orthodox) character belong to genus Camellia, family Theacea, species sinensis var. assamica having the characteristics of thin leaves with clear bullation, distinct marginal veins, and glossy leaf surface with more or less acuminate apex. This plant is hardy, multi-stemmed, low growing evergreen shrub which, if allowed, can grow up to 10- 15 meters in height and possess a robust branch system. It takes 4 to 6 years to mature and is known to have an economic life of well over 100 years with good care. The leaf blade of this tea plant is usually broadly elliptic. The leaf base is cuneate, margin obscurely denticulate to bluntly wide-serrulate, glabrous or persistently hairy on the lower surface of the mid-rib. Sclereids are present numerously which are stout with a few specules. The two leaves and a bud shoots are intermediate in size with moderate to high pubescence. Pubescence contributes to the appearance of teas made by the orthodox method. It produces “tips” and tippiness has an aesthetic appeal that enhances the value of orthodox tea. The presence of tip

36 exerts a positive influence on assessment of quality of orthodox tea. A fine high grown ASSAM (Orthodox) tea contains mostly well-twisted leaves and is abundant in tips. It has typical malty flavour and bright liquor. ASSAM (Orthodox) teas could yield 300-400 cups per kg and dust. The ASSAM (Orthodox) tea is characterized by the concentration of volatile flavoury constituents such as linalool and linalool oxides, geraniol etc. These constituents have sweet and floral taste and are usually higher in the second flush tea as compared to rain flush. On the other hand, hexanol, 2-3-hexenol and penten-3-ol which have grassy flavour are higher in the rain flush.

40 (G) Description of goods:

This is the tea grown in the tea estates along the Brahmaputra Valley within the state of Assam. The Assam (Orthodox) tea is broadly defined as a fully fermented Black Tea processed by the traditional rolling of the withered leaf. It has got bright smooth and yellow liquor with body colour and strength, with an astringent quality, a sensation that related to briskness. There are over 400 chemicals in a cup of Assam (Orthodox) tea.

(H) Geographical area of Production and Map as shown in page no 56.

The state of Assam is situated in the north eastern part of India and has an area of 78, 438 Square Kilometers. It is bounded to the north by the state of Arunachal Pradesh; to the east by the states of Nagaland and Manipur; to the south by the states of Mizoram and Tripura; and to the west by the states of Meghalaya and West Bengal. The Brahmaputra River valley is the dominant physical feature of Assam. The river enters Assam near Sadiya in the extreme northeast and runs westward across the length of Assam for nearly 450 miles before turning south. The river valley, rarely more than 50 miles wide, is studded with numerous low, isolated hills and ridges that abruptly rise from the plain. The valley surrounded on all sides, except the west, by mountains and is intersected by many streams and rivulets that flow from the neighboring hills to empty into the Brahmaputra. The best quality “ASSAM (Orthodox)” tea originates in these fertile banks of the Brahmaputra river.

(I) Proof of origin: (Historical records)

A short chronology of the evolution of the tea industry in Assam generally pioneered by Mr. C. A. Bruce is provided in the publication “A History of Assam Company”. It can be noted from this narrative that the advent of commercial tea plantations commenced with the planting out of tea in Saddiya in Upper Assam in 1830s and thereafter there has been a steady and sustained growth of Tea Plantations along the spread of the Brahamaputra/ Assam Valley to which references have already been made. An extract from the “History of Indian Tea Industry” by Sir Percival Griffiths (Wiedenfeld & Nicholson published in 1967), submitted, corroborates the growth and spread of the tea industry in Assam and bears particular

42 reference to Orthodox Tea manufacture as has been traditionally followed in Assam from 1837 onwards. Further, an extract from the District Gazette of the Lakhimpur District submitted also corroborates the above.

(J) Method of Production:

ASSAM (Orthodox) teas which are manufactured through the Withering, Rolling, Fermentation, Drying processes rely on selective plucking of green leaf which is manually done. The fineness of the green leaf results in the high quality of the green leaf for manufacture of ASSAM (Orthodox) tea. This quality and fineness is achieved through human/ manual skills and this expert plucking is an integral part of the special character that ASSAM (Orthodox) teas have come to acquire in terms of globally recognised attributes. These human skills have been transmitted from generation to generation of pluckers whose families are resident in the tea estates of the Assam valley. In fact, it is noteworthy to mention here that the influx of labourers for the tea gardens from outside Assam is practically negligible.

The human skills involved in Specialised Manufacturing Process of ASSAM (Orthodox) tea are directed towards the following:

(i) To obtain an even wither, where all the tender shoots have a similar percentage of moisture required for rolling throughout the day. The moisture in each shoot should be evenly distributed so that the stem is pliable.

(ii) To adjust the quantity of withered leaf required for rolling in order to keep the dryers full.

(iii) To regulate the rolling pressure programme to ensure that the withered leaf is well twisted and providing the required percentage of fine leaf to be extracted during the sifting process.

(iv) To observe the changes in the colour of the fermenting leaf and the smell (nose) to ensure that the optimum fermenting time is achieved before firing (drying).

44 Different Processes of Manufacturing of ASSAM (Orthodox) Tea: Withering It is the first stage of tea manufacture. During withering, harvested tea flush is evenly spread on the withering troughs which are normally 4- 5 feet wide and 50 to 70 feet long. During the process, hot and cold air is blown through to remove the moisture of fresh leaf to 30-40% which is achieved during 12 to 16 hours period. The fine object of withering is to make the turgid leaf flaccid and prepare the leaf for next stage to facilitate rolling. It may be noted that the process of chemical withering is unique in Assam giving the ASSAM (Orthodox) tea its inherent cup quality. Chemical wither starts immediately after plucking. It is independent of the rate of loss of moisture and is a function of time and temperature. Although the desired moisture level may be reached in a few hours, the biochemical changes, which had been initiated at the time of plucking, will take time.

The following chemical changes occur during withering. ™ Release of carbon dioxide and water due to break down of larger molecules. ™ Changes in enzyme activity. ™ Partial break down of proteins to amino acids which act as precursors for aroma. ™ Increase in caffeine content – this contributes towards briskness. ™ Production of Volatile Flavour Components (VFC). Some of these compounds contribute to the grassy odour and others are responsible for the flowery aroma. ™ Reduction in chlorophyll content.

The above chemical changes are all intrinsic to the biochemical structure of the leaf, but the range and the extent of the reactions depend on the jat, cultural practices and physical parameters like temperature, humidity etc. This process normally takes about 12 – 16 hours and cannot be hastened.

Rolling The withered leaf is charged in the rollers, which vary in size. Normally they are 36” and 48” rollers capable of rolling 70 to 120 kg of withered leaf. The pressure is exerted on the leaf in “Open” and “Pressure” sequence. This operation lasts for 45 minutes. During this process, tea

46 leaf is twisted as a result of repeated rolling action and simultaneously leaf tissue ruptures thus forcing out the cell-sap which spreads as a thin film on the surface of the leaf. Various enzymes and their substates come in contact and enzymatic oxidation starts at this stage. The green colour of leaf starts diminishing and brown coppery colour of leaf begins to appear.

Fermentation Rolled leaf is put on fermentation racks specially made of tiles, cement or aluminum. Fermentation rooms are kept clean and cold. In hot season, the air is kept humid with the help of humidifiers with less than 2° C hygrometric difference. Optimum fermentation is adjudged by the subjective assessment of the tea maker. Fermentation period varies from 2 to 3 hours depending on the type of leaf, degree of wither, temperature, availability of oxygen and fermenting ability of the tea flush. The time of fermentation is reckoned from the time at which rolling begins. Fermentation is a very sensitive process. Even five minutes delay in adjusting the correct fermentation period is likely to deteriorate flavour appreciably. During fermentation, the leaf changes colour and becomes dark coppery. A typical aroma develops at this stage. The term fermentation is a misnomer and, in fact, it is an oxidative process. Oxidation of catechin/ polyphenols by the enzyme polyphenol oxidase is the main reaction of the process that imparts “tea character” to the black tea.

Firing/ Drying Fermented leaf is loaded onto the dryer, which comprises perforated moving trays. The dryer inlet temperature is maintained at 200 to 240 F. Thickness of spread, speed of trays and volume of air blown through are regulated meticulously so as to achieve the correct drying. Low exhaust temperature often produces stewed tea while high temperature in the initial stages is apt to case- hardening of teas. The whole process of drying is completed within 20 – 30 minutes. The moisture content of the final product is kept at 2-3 percent. During the drying process enzymes responsible for fermentation are inactivated and even after the tea is dry the maturation process continues and tea attains the mellowness a desirable character of ASSAM (Orthodox) teas.

48 Sorting and Grading The bulk tea is sorted on mechanically oscillated sieves. The sieve size decreases gradually from top to bottom. Thus the bigger size teas are retained on the top while the broken leaves fall towards the floor.

Due to the unique and complex combination of agro-climatic conditions prevailing in the State of Assam and the production regulations imposed by the Board, tea produced in the said region has the distinctive and naturally occurring organoleptic characteristics of taste, aroma and mouth feel which have won the patronage and recognition of discerning consumers all over the world. Consequently, the tea produced in the said region and having the said special characteristics, is and has for long been known to the trade and the public in India and abroad as ASSAM (Orthodox) tea and as such it has acquired substantial domestic and international reputation. Any member of the trade or public in India or abroad ordering ASSAM (Orthodox) tea or seeing tea advertised or offered for sale as ASSAM (Orthodox) will expect the tea so ordered, advertised or offered for sale to be the tea cultivated, grown and produced in the aforesaid region of the State of Assam and having the aforesaid special characteristics.

(K) Uniqueness: ASSAM (Orthodox) tea can be defined as fully fermented black tea, processed by the traditional method of rolling withered leaf in specially designed rolling tables. Teas manufactured by this orthodox process result in a rolled and twisted leaf appearance, in different grade sizes. Since the raw material consists of selected quantity clones and/or a good plucking standard, teas show varying quantum of desirable tip. ASSAM (Orthodox) teas have malty, bright, smooth and mellow liquors with body colour and strength and are suitable to be consumed with or without milk. Cups have a rich earthy character and taste distinctive to Assam and a brownish coppery brightness on infused leaf. The ASSAM (Orthodox) tea is famous in the world tea market for the inherent qualities of flavoury compounds accountable to the geographical location, climate and skills of plucking. Due to the above mentioned inherent qualities, ASSAM (Orthodox) tea can be differentiated from the rest of the Indian teas and also those from other parts of the world. These unique characteristics of ASSAM (Orthodox) teas are

50 exhibited mainly at the time of the second flush period which generally starts from the 1st week of May to end of June every year. In fact, the total Anthocyanin and total Flavone Glycosides together with Chlorophyll and the Carotenoids has been found to be quite high in the ASSAM (Orthodox) Teas. Pleasant sub-alpine climate prevails in the hills. The plains however, experience tropical humid climate, especially during the rainy season making them suitable for tea cultivation. These climatic conditions prevalent in the State of Assam induct an influence on the biosynthesis of the pigment chlorophyll and carotenoids together with anthocyanin and flavanol glycosides to reflect the above quality of the ASSAM (Orthodox) teas.

63 (F) Name of the Geographical Indication (and particulars):

Nilgiri (Orthodox)

(G) Description of goods:

NILGIRI (Orthodox)” is famous for its bright and brisk liquor and mellow, light and clean flavoured teas. The vintage specialty teas are produced during the months of December to February. The rare flavour of “NILGIRI (Orthodox)” tea is a result of combination of plant genes, soil chemistry, elevations, mean temperature and rainfall and relative humidity unique to the Nilgiri hills. In fact, the flavour index (FI) has been used in the price evaluation. The bright colour and briskness of the “NILGIRI (Orthodox)” tea is on account of its optimum and well balanced polyphenolic pigments with a good colour and briskness index. “NILGIRI (Orthodox)” teas are rich in essential quality constituents. “NILGIRI (Orthodox)” tea possesses high content carotenoids of protein, amino acids and carotenoids. “NILGIRI (Orthodox)” has excellent liquor which is reflected in the high catechin and polyphenol content along with higher activities of the enzymes phenylalanine ammonia lyase. The high level of total soluble solids and lower level of crude fibre content are known to have higher bulk density which is one of the quality attributes that partly decides the market value and has a positive influence of the cuppage of tea. The liquor quality constituents of tea such as Yhealavin, Thearubugin, High Polymerized substances, TF: TR Ratio and caffeine are maintained at optimum levels.

(H) Geographical area of Production and Map as shown in page no 80.

The district of Nilgiri is the smallest District in the state of Tamil Nadu in the south of India. The Nilgiri mountain range is a part of the Western Ghats, being one of the oldest mountain ranges in India. The Nilgiris is bounded by Karnataka in the north and by the Kerala state in the west. To the south and east is Coimbatore district, Tamil Nadu. The Nilgiri hills properly written as “Neilgnerry” consists of a plateau of about 56 km long and 32 km broad. The plateau is at an average height of 1982 meters and is situated at the junction of the ranges of the Eastern and Western Ghats. Doddabetta, the second highest peak of South India, with an altitude of 2634 meters is the crest of the plant. The Nilgiris plateau comprises 2460 square kilometers

65 and it lies between latitude 11o8’ and 11o87’ north, and longitude 72o27’ and 77o4’ east. The M oyar on the North and the Bhavani on the South are the main rivers draining these hills. The name “Nilgiri” which is at least 900 years old was bestowed on it by the dwellers in the plains below. Nilgiri is India’s first biosphere. The tea gardens are situated at elevations above 1500 meters on steep slopes which provide ideal natural drainage for the generous rainfall the district receives. It is a well established fact that aroma composition varies with the altitude and high elevation is an important evaluation for the quality of Orthodox teas. These gardens all fall in the four Taluks of Nilgiri district viz. Coonor, Kundah, Udhagamandalam and Kotagiri.

(I) Proof of origin: (Historical records)

The History of tea cultivation in the district of Nilgiris can be traced back to the mid- nineteenth century. In 1832, Dr. Christie, a Surgeon on the Madras establishment, was placed on special duty to conduct meteorological and geological investigations in southern India. He applied for a grant of land in the Nilgiris for experimentation with the culture of tea, coffee, mulberry etc. Unfortunately, he died in November of the same year, and some of his tea plants were given to the commandant of Ootacamund, Colonel Crewe, who planted them in the garden of Crewe Hall; rest of the plants were distributed to various parts of the hills for trial. In 1834, unaware that the plant was to be found wild in Assam, Lord William Bentinck, then Viceroy of India sent a Commission to China to fetch seed and expert tea makers to India. The result was a distribution of plants to many parts of South India for experiment. Those on the Nilgiris were planted chiefly at the experimental farm at Ketti, cared for by Col. Crewe and M r. M. Perrottet, a French Botanist. In 1839, they were reported to be growing luxuriantly. Sometime later, Mr. Mann secured a good supply of quality tea seeds and opened up a tea plantation near Coonoor which was perhaps the first in the Nilgiris. His success in planting inspired hopes of developing tea plantations in the Nilgiris. Almost about the same time, the Dunsandle estate was opened out by Mr. Rae. In the Kotagiri area, the tea was planted on a small area during 1863 that can still be seen in front of the Kotagiri club on the opposite hill. The tea was opened up by Miss. M. B.L. Cockburn and this she did with the help of a Chinaman, who may quite likely have come from the camps at Naduvattam or Thiashola by about 1869, the area under tea in the Nilgiri which was about 120 hectares steadily rose to about 62,039 hectares during 2004.

67 The relevant extract from the book “Horticultural and Economic Plants of the Nilgiris” published in 1953 is furnished. (J) Method of Production:

Nilgiris is perhaps the only planting district in south India where the area under tea has increased significantly during last two decades. Nevertheless the choice of planting material has been mostly confined to the popular clone UPASI-9 (B/6/61). UPASI Scientific Department has released a number of clones and biclonal progenies and it is advisable to use diverse cultivar for planting. From the quality perspective, clones like CR-6017 and UPASI-3 (B/5/63) can get preference. Graft combinations with Cr-6017 as scion and UPASI-9 as a stock, UPASI-3 as stock and UPASI-2 (B/4/142) as scion are likely to fare extremely well from the point of quality and quantity. Based on the manufacturing technique adopted in the factory while converting the green leaf into “made tea” or, ‘manufactured tea’, the final product is called ‘black tea’ or ‘green tea’. Again there are two manufacturing processes of black tea, namely Orthodox tea (manufactured in the traditional method) or CTC tea (where the machine crushes tears & curls the green leaf). Green tea (different from green leaf) and Orthodox tea will look like, small twigs and CTC tea will look like small ‘granuels’. Nilgiris is the only region in southern India which produces both C.T.C. and Orthodox in sizeable quantities while all others practically manufacture exclusively one type. About 15 M.Kgs of the district output is orthodox tea. The details on orthodox manufacture are as follows:

Orthodox tea manufacture involves mainly five stages

69 Wi the ri ng The withering process is given much importance in orthodox manufacture because the biochemicals responsible for flavour development increase during the chemical withering. Hard withering is practiced for orthodox manufacture with a withering duration of 16-20 hrs and a withering percentage of 50-60. The green leaf should be spread on the trough at 2 to 2.5 kg/sq.ft.

Rolling The withered leaves are rolled on specially designed orthodox rollers, which twist and crush the leaves there by rupturing the cells. The rolling programmes vary in each factory. Single roll, two roll, three roll and four roll are followed based on the grade requirements.

Roll-breaking On discharge from the roller the leaf mass is more or less compressed into lumps. These are broken up in the sifting process by the machine which usually combines the operation of roll- breaker and sifter. At first it cools the leaf, secondly it aerates the mass and thirdly by sieving out particles of small size it separates leaf into portions.

Fermentation The actual fermentation starts at rolling and it is continued in the next stage. The dhool is spread out on floors or tray and the fermentation bed thickness should be maintained at 1.5” to 2”. The duration of fermentation ranges between 120 to 150 minutes depending upon the climatic conditions.

Drying Drying terminates the enzyme activity thereby arresting fermentation. Generally, ECP driers are used for orthodox manufacture. FBD and VFBD driers are also used nowadays. The inlet and exhaust temperature in the ECP drier is 100 to 105oC and 50 to 55oC respectively.

73 Packing Teas are packed in air tight containers in order to prevent absorption of moisture, which is one of the main causes for loss of flavour during storage. Packing chests are usually constructed of plywood, lined with aluminum foil and paper and sealed with the same material.

The main quality season in the Nilgiris is from fifteenth December to fifteenth March and in recent years the onset quality has often been delayed by two to three weeks due to late rains. The estates in the Coonoor, Kotagiri and Kullakamby areas (the N.E. monsoon belt) also experience a brief second quality season in July-August, when cold, windy conditions slow down plant growth. Whilst the winter quality teas attract widespread overseas enquiry, the more exquisite flavoury invoices, produced from clonal blocks and by the estates situated above 1666 meters (5500’), from sea level. The clonal invoices which command a definite premium throughout the year are those made from Craigmore estate 6017 and Sundaram (B/5/63) clones, which have a distinct cup character of their own. On the other hand, teas with delicate character have lost much of their sparkle in recent years because of the light liquors. The quality season teas of some of Nilgiris estates also throw liquors with raspberry (or Jammy) character, oil of winter green character etc., which are liked by selected overseas buyers.

(K) Uniqueness:

The prestige of NILGIRI (Orthodox) is as high as its elevation. Climatic conditions in this district are characterized by cold, dry and misty weather during most part of the year. These conditions are known to accentuate the production of desirable volatiles responsible for overall aroma of black tea. Different estates make different grades of tea, but the classes usually distinguished are orange pekoe, broken pekoe, pekoe souchony, broken souchony and congo which are named after the nature of the leaves of which they consist. The teas produced in this region have the reputation of being delicately fragrant with high grown quality. Liquors are bright and mellow and it takes milk well, preserving the brightness.

75 India (High Range) reveals a high level of theaflavins for the Nilgiris tea in the broken, fannings and dust categories resulting in high briskness of the liquor. A slightly higher level of TR, HPS & TLC in the orthodox teas of High Ranges substantiate their strong bodied liquor as against the bright mellow liquors of the Nilgiris orthodox teas.
