Longest Word Darjeeling (10 letters)

Types of Tea: Darjeeling, Assam, Oolong, Matcha and Sencha

A tour of the world's teas. From India come Assam, strong and malty, and Darjeeling, grown in the Himalayan foothills; from Sri Lanka, Ceylon. China gives us Keemun, smoky Lapsang souchong, Longjing (Dragon Well) green tea and oolong; Japan gives sencha, shaded gyokuro and matcha, the powdered tea of the tea ceremony.

White and yellow tea are styles rather than places: all true teas come from the same plant, Camellia sinensis, and differ in how the leaves are processed.

How to Solve the Tea Varieties Word Search

"Darjeeling" is the longest word, reading normally across, and the only one with a D. "Longjing" also has a J and runs straight down. "Lapsang" has the only P and reads backwards. Look for the doubles: SS in "assam", EE in "darjeeling" and "keemun", OO in "oolong" and LL in "yellow".

Tea Tasting Activities
