Sip by Sip: Unveiling the Best Teas for True Connoisseurs

Tea, a beverage steeped in history, culture, and ritual, has an appeal that goes beyond just being a simple refreshment. Whether sipped as a morning pick-me-up or enjoyed during a cosy evening routine, tea holds a special place in the hearts and homes of people all over the world.

What Makes a Good Tea?

When purchasing tea, it’s essential to carefully assess the quality of each component, from the tea leaf itself to its packaging. Important factors to consider include the cultivars, region and climate, elevation, plucking process, and tea-making method. The choice of packaging, along with proper storage and transportation, also plays a significant role in preserving the tea's quality. Additionally, choosing brands that prioritise ethical and sustainable practices ensures both a high-quality tea and responsible production.

Their packaging not only has minimal environmental impact but also carries cultural significance.
