Having a degree in chemistry has been very handy in formulating tea blends for a specific event or occasion. When we 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. Similar to the blending process we use for coffee, we reformulate our tea blends to take full advantage of their unique seasonal qualities.

All tea has a shelf life. Proper storage is necessary to prolong freshness. Store tea in opaque containers to avoid contact with light. Use a container with a tightsealing lid to guard against moisture and to prevent tea from drying out. Keep in a cool place. Refrigeration is advised for long-term storage of green teas.
