Tea is a natural product and like its’ cousins; coffee and wine, each harvest can produce something different from the last. This means, season to season and year to year, a little or a lot of variation can occur even within the one tea garden or estate. Large companies blend because they want to offer a consistent product – a tea that tastes the same – to large numbers of consumers, year in year out. Tea companies might also want to create ‘signature blends’ – teas that no other company can offer. Of course, two or more teas can be blended for a bit of fun and experimentation with flavors. As with an excellent wine, an unblended tea can showcase the very best of a particular garden, a harvest, the terroir, a tea grower’s expertise and a tea maker’s craft. When a tea produces a wonderfully complex flavor profile, it would be near criminal to blend it away! Certainly, a tea maker would not use their best teas for blending.
