At Art of Tea, all of our flowers, tea leaves, and botanicals are marked with lot numbers, giving our blending masters the ability to trace each ingredient right down to its exact source. Once selected, each and every ingredient is brought to the Art of Tea lab, where it goes through intensive flavor testing and the highest quality assurance examinations, both with wet and dry ingredients. Each member of our blending team becomes familiar with every ingredient separately – each tea leaf, flower blossom, fruit or herb - before our blending process begins.
Creating a new blend of tea is much like making art, as we do not reference any other recipes! Our experienced tea team, comprised of highly educated tea sommeliers, test countless combinations in search of the perfect tea blend, using equal parts passion, creativity, and intellect. Each tea is hand-blended and designed to showcase the beautiful, nuanced flavor of the whole leaf tea. Our team cups (or tastes) thousands of teas each year in order to provide the unmatched quality that Art of Tea is known for worldwide!
