I am getting ready to go to China, and this is a subject worthy of more time then I have right now. Please forgive me and will try to attack this question when I have time on my trip.<br /> Austin </p> http://www.sevencups.com/forum/topic/9#post-45 Thu, 01 Mar 2007 22:24:55 +0000 admin 45@http://www.sevencups.com/forum/ <p>Tea is harvested from early spring through the early fall in China depending on the tea and the area. There are even the rare winter harvests. Tea is an evergreen plant and can survive some very cold temperatures.</p> <p>There are a multitude of variables in tea as in wine. The harvest this year will be very early because of an unusually warm winter. That doesn't look good in some areas. Some tea is harvested in the fog, and some tea the best comes from the longest period of direct sunshine between dawn and noon, and some tea the best is the slopes facing east. A couple of years ago there was a very cold winter that took some of the robustness from some black teas, but added to some greens. </p> <p>The last three years we have had Sichuan tea, the first greens in China, in March. The first harvest was in February this year, but we would get any back until early April because both Zhuping and I will be in China the last part of March. The quanity of good bud tea will be limited this year because it got hot too fast and the tea is growing too fast. It may mean a bumper year for oolongs and black tea.<br /> Austin<br /> Austin </p> http://www.sevencups.com/forum/topic/9#post-28 Wed, 28 Feb 2007 04:54:05 +0000 andrew 28@http://www.sevencups.com/forum/ <p>When are teas harvested? How do the conditions of a tea’s harvest affect its flavor? How soon does a new crop appear on the western market? </p> http://www.sevencups.com/forum/topic/8#post-27 Wed, 28 Feb 2007 04:49:43 +0000 andrew 27@http://www.sevencups.com/forum/ <p>Like any other agriculture, tea presumably owes much of its character to the mercy of the seasons. Can you elaborate on ways in which annual weather conditions influence the flavor of tea? In other words, are there specific flavors characteristic of teas harvested in exceptionally cold or wet years when compared to those harvested from exceptionally dry or hot years? </p>
