We chose spring-picked tea planted at high altitude for comparison. The harvest time of tea in the really high altitude area of Darjeeling is relatively late, and the picking period is from the first ten days to the middle of April. In fact, by this time, many companies have completed the procurement of the first tea season, and their consciousness has turned to the second tea season, that is, summer picking. High-altitude tea, due to the temperature difference between day and night, thin oxygen concentration and so on, the tea will grow slowly over time. It's the same as plateau vegetables. Therefore, the concentration of the tea made in the high place is very strong and the aftertaste is endless. In order to get the tea from the high-altitude tea garden, we started to discuss it before the peak season and specially bought the tea picked in April. This purchase of two kinds of tea, the aftertaste is very strong, from a good point of view is not like Darjeeling tea.

Arya 1st Flush Ruby is a kind of tea produced in a tea garden with an elevation of 1500 meters above sea level. This tea is picked at a young age and contains many buds. Therefore, Ruby is very gentle and has a creamy taste when it is in the mouth. The interesting thing about Ruby is that although it is 1st flash, it is fully fermented. This tea takes longer to ferment than the normal 1st Flush, has a more black tea flavor, and is easier to match with desserts. Arya 1st Flush Spring Blossom is tea produced in a tea garden at an altitude of 2000 meters using clonal tea trees. Made from more mature tea leaves, like the name Spring Blossom, spring flowers are characterized by the same scent as spring flowers and lean aromas reminiscent of vegetation. It's kind of like oolong tea and white tea. It is also said that the tea at high altitude is very long, and the fragrance stays in the throat forever. People who like the deep taste are recommended.
