I own a package of Assam green tea. But this article states that it's black tea. The fact that green Assam tea exists should be added to this article. Can an expert check on this?Badagnani20:12, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Tea, whether green or black, is derived from the same species of plant, Camella Sinensis. Where Assam tea differs is in its production mechanism. Assam tea or Assam CTC is processed through a full fermentation process which gives it a higher quantity of theaflavins and thearubigins. The content of catechins, however, is slightly lower than that of green tea. These compounds work as antioxidants in the body, thereby providing several health benefits as identified through systematic scientific studies. The theaflavins in the Assam tea are also responsible for the bright red colour of the tea. The features and benefits of this tea come not only from the production process but also from the geographical attributes of the region that the tea is produced. Almost all major national brands have Assam tea or Assam CTC in their product mix. However, homegrown brands from Assam likeBrew Cafe are also making their mark on the segment. The new stage in evolution in the industry has been the focus on premium quality and organic & sustainable farming.— Precedingunsigned comment added byTechpcbuzz (talk •contribs)09:58, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What about tea from Bangladesh? I assume it is the same as Assam tea. Please clarify.—Precedingunsigned comment added by115.131.41.63 (talk)12:50, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So how should Assam tea be kept? I have loose crushed, torn and curled Assam tealeaves here. This is black tea. My Earl Grey and my Russian Caravan I have put into bags to keep them in the dark, since these are not oxidised like green teas, and I guess this should be kept similarly. Will it react adversely to sunlight? Will it react adversely to the acidity or moisture of the surrounding atmosphere?Wilsonsamm (talk)23:56, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I asked because just a few days ago someone changed it to another species.Badagnani (talk)03:14, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, the C. sinensis article barely touches on var. assamica.Kortoso (talk)17:59, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

this articles intr seems to be a word for word copy either by wikipedia or by Tea Review. Is there a way to tell who is plagiarizing the other?—Precedingunsigned comment added by24.9.202.70 (talk)04:08, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate all who have contributed to this page, but there are a couple grammar issues here and there. Lastly, the use of both single and double quotation marks around certain words results in a rather sarcastic and snooty layer of political commentary. This is an encyclopedia, not a New Yorker article, and most definitely not a college essay about colonialism and hegemony.Thanks.
the inclusion of this: "Aging some teas are subjected to aging and fermentation to make them more palatable. Some types of Chinese Pu-erh, for example, are fermented and aged for years, much like wine. " is a warning sign, that the article or parts of it are not relyable at all since it was noit written with the subject in mind. i suppose the reader wants to find out what is specific of the assam tea be it botanical variety, geographical location, distinctive method of processing, or typical features associated with the end product. certainly i have not looked up the article to read about "chinese pu-erh tea".89.134.199.32 (talk)20:17, 1 December 2020 (UTC).[reply]
Yes, the entire section about tea processing is general for green, oolong, black, and pu-erh tea instead of describing the specifics of Assam. Paulo Ribeiro (talk)08:04, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's confusing to use this page. Many questions arise which are unanswered by it.- Where is the variety assamica grown? This article only addresses the tea industry in Assam and gives the impression that the variety can only be grown in Assam.
Back in September 2022, it appears that someone changed the article name to JEN (from Assam) and also removed certain text within the article, inserting the same. Should these changes be reverted?
I’m a big fan of Wikipedia and rarely offer updates and edits myself… but I was sad to see what appeared to be obvious vandalism to what in general is an excellent article.2600:1007:B076:25A9:4873:9578:65AC:2C3C (talk)16:16, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
