[討論] 外文 Darjeeling First Flush 2009 will probably suck.

[lwei781 (bike)]

跟前面那篇大陸人講鐵觀音會因為缺水晚發芽和欠收的文類似

Word coming out of Darjeeling Hills is that an extended dry period (started
in mid-Nov 08 to present) will probably hurt quality and quantity of First
Flush Darjeeling production this year.

大吉領從去年十一月到三月中都沒被滋潤到
所以初摘的苞芽的量和質在今年可能都會讓人失望


I've been hearing this too. There has been almost no rainfall at all in
Darjeeling since November. It's a big issue for the economic lives of many
people in West Bengal and Sikkim.

我也有聽到大吉嶺去年十一月後就都沒濕過了
對旁邊地區人民的經濟影響會很大


A commercial newslist from Darjeeling I subscribe to (Thunderbolt Tea)
recently reported that the low elevation tea gardens such as Longview will
begin offering first flush teas very soon but the higher ones could be a
month delayed.

TBT 也寫到低海拔的園子會早採 可是高海拔的會晚採快一個月


The tea bushes aren't going to put out new leaves in a drought. Pickings are
going to be slim, the tea will be weak in character, and it will be spendy.


茶樹在乾的時候是不會生新的芽的
能採的量會少 茶質會虛弱 (黛玉樣?) 而且會很貴







下面是一些相關的英文報導
希望有人願意翻 除了今年的問題外其實還很多有趣的訊息

The premium first flush teas, which become available in the market from
March, have fetched 25% lesser price in the European markets this year. In
2008, the same type of tea had fetched Rs 1,250 per kg but this year it has
gone down to Rs 937.50 per kg.

You got the exception (premium clonal), not the typical yield under very dry
conditions that persisted through the late March. These very high altitude
gardens receive precip in the form of mists, even when the rainy season is
dry.








Darjeeling News / The Telegraph
Darjeeling, March 20, 2009

Rainfall in Darjeeling today after almost five months helped settle the dust,
but failed to provide much needed relief to the tea planters and the people
in general.
With overcast skies since early morning, many residents were hoping for a
rain. While it drizzled in the morning, there was a shower for about half an
hour around 11.30am.

Darjeeling tea planters said the rainfall was just a little too late. “The
shower has come a bit too late,” said Sandeep Mukherjee, the secretary of
Darjeeling Tea Association. The Darjeeling planters usually rely on rain
around Christmas but there was no shower during the winter this year.

The dry weather has stemmed the growth of first flush, which usually fetches
the highest price at auctions. “We have suffered heavy losses this year, but
we cannot provide a comprehensive figure unless the first flush season is
over,” said Mukherjee. Plucking for the first flush has already started and
it generally carries on till April end.

While the rain has brought little relief to the planters, the Darjeeling
Municipality, too, said the short spell would not help them much. “We need
more rain. Anyway, we had started making preparations to distribute potable
water through trucks and jeeps from next week. We have already approached the
DGHC to provide us with Rs 40 lakh (40,000 rupees) for water distribution,”
 said Pemba Tshering Ola, the chairman of the civic body.

The two lakes in Senchel that supply water to Darjeeling are bone dry. While
the South Lake has absolutely no water in store, the North Lake has only
about eight feet of water against the normal storage of 12 feet. Most of the
25 streams that feed water to these two lakes are running dry.

“If we have a good shower for a couple of days, the streams will start
flowing again. But short spells like that of today will not help,” said a
municipal worker who is associated with the distribution.

The Indian Meteorological Department has said on its website that a
disturbance has developed over Jammu and Kashmir, while another was forming
over western Uttar Pradesh. With clouds still moving over the region, there
is hope for more rains in Darjeeling.
