1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,160
Darjeeling or Assam:

2
00:00:02,420 --> 00:00:05,280
what can those names tell you
before you take a sip?

3
00:00:05,610 --> 00:00:07,880
Both point to places in India.

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,080
Darjeeling's gardens sit

5
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,980
in the hills of West Bengal;

6
00:00:12,340 --> 00:00:15,820
Assam tea grows across
the Brahmaputra plains.

7
00:00:16,430 --> 00:00:18,550
A spring Darjeeling can taste

8
00:00:18,550 --> 00:00:19,940
light and floral.

9
00:00:20,470 --> 00:00:22,780
Some summer harvests feel fuller,

10
00:00:22,900 --> 00:00:25,760
with grape-like notes
called muscatel.

11
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,060
Assam black teas are often

12
00:00:28,060 --> 00:00:29,880
full-bodied and malty.

13
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,860
But these are clues,
not fixed flavors.

14
00:00:33,380 --> 00:00:34,760
Look at the packet, too.

15
00:00:35,210 --> 00:00:37,620
For either tea,
the garden tells you where,

16
00:00:37,620 --> 00:00:39,160
the harvest tells you when,

17
00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:41,760
and processing tells you
how it was made.

18
00:00:42,210 --> 00:00:45,060
Assam can be orthodox or CTC;

19
00:00:45,470 --> 00:00:47,620
its name doesn't tell
you the process.

20
00:00:48,250 --> 00:00:51,480
Read those details, then
compare the aroma

21
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:54,380
and how each cup
feels in your mouth.

22
00:00:54,810 --> 00:00:56,640
Which qualities do you enjoy?
