Terroir is a French word that refers to place where the roots of a plant grow.
The effect of that particular environment, altitude, climate, weather and soil has a distinct bearing on the unique taste, attributes and character of the beverage produced in an area or region.
That is why tea produced in Darjeeling or wine that is produced in Bordeaux, have a characteristic that is unique to the region.
Good tea and good wine…….. Enjoy!
