Fine tea and rare tea: what's the difference?
A fine tea is not necessarily a rare tea and vice versa. A rare tea is produced in small quantities and therefore difficult to obtain. A fine tea comes from a specific cultivation or fermentation process that gives the tea unique properties. For example, the Jasmin Dragon Pearl is a fine tea because it is rolled to obtain characteristic small balls. The Darjeeling FTGFOP 1 kings valley first flush organic is also a fine tea, as it comes from the first harvest. The 5-year-old pu-erh is also a fine tea due to its unique maturation. Korean tea, on the other hand, is a rarity due to its place of production: Jeju Island in Korea. It's a very exclusive black tea.
Is a very rare tea necessarily better?
Rare teas therefore have terroir particularities. They come from places where tea cultivation allows for small quantities to be produced. They are therefore most often teas of exceptional quality that express unique flavors. China produces exceptional teas among the best in the world. Among Indian black teas, Darjeeling and Assam from the first harvest share the spotlight. Korea is not to be outdone with green, black and Oolong teas, most often cultivated in unlikely places and offering a completely unique flavor palette. In Japan, quality takes precedence over quantity, and even the popular Sencha comes in fine green tea varieties. Java Island produces one of the best Oolong teas in the world, cultivated with spring water and without pesticides, it is certified organic like all our exceptional teas.
