Specialty Tea Blends
T ea offers more taste profiles than any other beverage in the world. Singularly, a tea and a wine would share most of the taste spectrum. However, when you begin to blend teas, the number of tastes becomes endless.

We have listed a few of our favorites. Blending tea is easy when you begin to understand the characteristics of different teas. Some teas are used for color, others for sweet taste, while another may be used to give a blend a full-bodied liquor. Again, these are just a few of our favorites; there are literally thousands of different combinations available.

What is the secret to a good tea blend? First, be certain to mix teas of similar leaf size; if a small broken-leafed tea is blended with a large fluffy full-leafed tea, the smaller tea particles will settle to the bottom of the container and the two teas will separate. Finally, mix teas in proportions determined by weight, not by sight alone. This is the secret to consistency in good blended teas.
