Having a degree in chemistry has been very handy in formulating tea blends for a specific event or occasion. When I blend, there is always a goal - a briskness for a morning pick me up, a scented tea for afternoon, teas to accompany certain foods or desserts or simply to provide a moment of tranquility. Each season, hundreds of samples from China, Japan, India and Ceylon arrive requiring rigorous "cupping". From these, we select according to our rigid standards of excellence. Similar to the blending process we use for coffee, we reformulate our tea blends to take full advantage of their unique seasonal qualities. If you have a specific tea variety or flavor in mind, let us know and we'll find or blend it for you.
