Blending
The art of creating consistency and character in every cup
Tea is a natural, seasonal product, influenced by soil, climate and weather. No harvest is ever exactly the same, yet we expect that every cup of tea tastes identical. That is where blending becomes essential. By combining teas from different origins, we create the exact flavour profile, colour and mouthfeel you need.
Blending is both science and art. It requires deep knowledge of the character and properties of teas from around the world, combined with an understanding of the taste preferences in your specific market. Bringing those two together takes skill and creativity. And providing consistency over time and across seasons as well.
Across various origins we operate our own blending facilities, and in other markets we work closely with trusted, highly skilled partners. We blend both orthodox and CTC teas, as well as different types of botanicals. If needed, we can re-pack into smaller volumes to meet your exact requirements.
