A cup of tea soothes us in many ways and drinking tea has more been like a ritual in many parts of the world. It’s a sensory feast, a blissful little escape from the chaos of everyday life. There is no occasion to drink a cup of tea; it’s just a matter of invigorating our mind with the humbleness present in the tea.
Have you ever wondered of the soothing aroma and the refreshing taste while sipping a cup of tea? Where does it exactly come from and how does it stay same in almost all the batches of tea? The perfect answer to this is –“Tea Blending.”
In a layman‘s persona, the art of tea blending simply means “fusing flavors,” but there is more to this phenomenon which rather seems easy but in actual is very complex. Blending tea is more than a science and we have put our heart and imagination to it, although the process seems simple with no set of rules to the same. There is no protocol to blend tea; it simply is an art which requires persistence and perfection.
Tea blending was originally intended to mask the inconsistencies in the flavor of batches of tea but the actual aim of blending is to create a well balanced flavor using different origins of tea. There is only one golden rule for tea blending- “Every blend must taste the same as the previous one, so a consumer will not be able to detect a difference in flavor from one purchase to the next.”
Blending tea is an act of surprise as we are usually unaware of the end results and it’s always exciting too. So are you ready to blend you own tea??? Follow these tips and we guarantee you will end up like a professional tea blender…
There are many varieties of tea leaves which can be blended to get some relishing blends. The basic ones are green, black and white. Green tea is earthy and refreshing, and pairs well with both toasty flavors such as popcorn, walnuts, toasted coconut, lemongrass, mint, pine needles, or fennel while Black tea is flavorful and bold, and pairs well with dry flavors such as cardamom, cinnamon etc. On the other hand white tea is delicate and sweet, and pairs well with similarly light flavors like lavender, orange peel, dried cherries or strawberries, fresh shredded coconut, and rose petals.
So, get your inner imagination to work and blend some tea!!!
Happy tea blending!!!
