Indulge yourself with some real loose leaf tea and find out what you've been missing. I have always enjoyed a nice cuppa tea (or cupa-ti for you Gaelic speakers!). It probably harks back to when I went shopping with my Grannie. Her local shop would have the tea stored in big, black tea caddies with gold lettering on the front. I can’t remember how many caddies there were, maybe only 2 or 3. Grannie would ask for a 1/4 pound of blended tea. The shop keeper would pour tea from one caddy into a paper bag and then add tea from the other caddy to the bag, then give the bag a good shake. Since them, I loved the smell and taste of tea. I still prowl supermarket and small shops looking for different types of tea and I’m always willing to give a new tea, tisane or infusion a taste. I prefer tea that has been brewed from single variety loose leaf tea. A tea leaf that has been grown in a single tea garden and not blended with other leaves. Single leaf teas produce so many different flavours, all of which it has taken from its growing conditions. The soil, the weather, the location and even when it was plucked all influence the taste of the tea. Very rarely do you find 2 single leaf variety teas that taste the same, even from the same garden, they can be totally different. Try breaking away from the mass produced tea bag market, a single tea bag could contain as many as 20 different tea varieties, and treat yourself to a nice earthy Assam black tea or a floral white tea from Nepal, or perhaps some soothing green teas from Fujian in China. Every tea I sell are teas that I enjoy and drink on a regular basis. I do not believe is offering teas that I don’t enjoy or that are “the in thing as the moment”.
