Notes#
Identity. The breeder’s summary identifies selection line 184 and single-plant selection from Jaipuri. TTES 8 is one selected cultivar, not a synonym for all Assam-type tea grown in Taiwan.
Use. Developed for black tea; the breeder’s profile describes a light malty character. Processing and growing conditions still influence the finished tea.
