given bread-bangles, which they longed for. Also, the fact that bakery is a profitable
profession shows that the love for bread is enormous in Goa.

 TEA HISTORY :

 Story 1 - The story of tea begins in China.
According to legend, in 2737 BC, the
Chinese emperor Shen Nung was sitting
beneath a tree while his servant boiled
drinking water, when some leaves from the
tree blew into the water. ... The tree was a
Camellia Sinensis, and the resulting drink
was what we now call tea.
Story 2 - Bodhidharma, the sixth century
Indian priest who brought Buddhism to
China, spent nine years facing a cave wall in
meditation. Furious with his inability to stay
awake, he is said to have ripped off his
eyelids. On falling to the ground, they
became tea plants.
 TEA FLUSHES :
The season when the tea leaves were harvested is known as the flush
Tea flushes are a great way to distinguish the quality and flavour profiles of different teas.

1. SPRING / FIRST FLUSH
The First Flush is also known as the
Spring Flush. Depending on the
location, the harvesting can begin as
early as late February and last up to
May. It is also called Easter Flush.
First flush is considered to be of the
highest quality.
2. SUMMER / SECOND FLUSH
The Second Flush takes place in
June and so is also called the
Summer Flush. The leaves grow
much faster and are allowed to
mature more than the first flush.
This results in a stronger yet
smoother flavour. The brewed tea
has a dark colour with an amber
hue.
3. AUTUMN FLUSH
The third main flush of the year
takes place during October and
sometimes into November and
hence is called the Autumn Flush.
The leaves grow large and pruning
is required during the growth
period to produce a good quality
autumn flush.
