  
Basic Tea Blends
If you are an avid tea drinker, then you have mastered the basic
flavor of your favorite tea. But what if there is a chance for you to alter and create your own tea blend, will you
take on the challenge and experience this unique opportunity?
Just like coffee, tea has been into much experimentation to produce perfect fusions
of ingredients to be incorporated with this drink. Some of them are already known blends such as the Earl Grey,
English Breakfast, Spiced Blend and Herbal Blend. Actually, those are just the few of the blends which have been
produced for a total tea experience. Due to this radicalization of tea taste, different tea lovers have begun incorporating their own personal touch to every cup of
tea they sip.
Tea has the property to induce flavor rapidly. This is because
processed leaves can readily absorb fragrances and flavors of both flowers and fruits. After the drying period,
the leaves are usually piled with the flowers or fruits so that they can absorb the flavors and essence of
the said ingredient. This process can be repeated many times, as long as it requires. Once done, the leaves are
dried up in packages. Some are even mixed with other tea varieties before there are distributed across
the country. One of the most prominent flower scented tea is the Jasmine tea, while one of the most fruit
scented tea is the lemon tea.
Even though there is a massive tea production around the globe, tea lovers even get the
opportunity to have their own favorite amongst all. Here, they appreciate the unique taste and aroma of their most
beloved tea. Although everyone has their own kind of tea, there will be a time where you will be requesting a different
and maybe fuller kind of tea. By this, you will have to need to create your own blend of tea.
Tea blending is as simple as one, two and three. Being a tea lover
gives you the edge of distinguishing different types of taste and smell of a tea and since you are already
acquainted with it, it will be fairly easy to start your conquest.
You can begin by having a base tea which has high-quality and full taste, like Assam, Keemum, or
Ceylon. Remember that base teas are usually selected for their distinct flavor and taste. Once you have your base,
it is now time to incorporate the different elements in your blend. Ingredients that are well attuned for your
tea are specifically a personal choice - always remember that. Aside from it, always look for high quality
ingredients and flavoring. Type of this includes fruits, flowers, essential oils, herbs and spices. Just keep in
mind that your goal is to create a well-rounded blend and mix so too many things may actually ruin
everything.
Tea blending is a fun activity in enjoying your drink. It enables you to be more creative and
proactive with your tea. Aside from that, this activity makes you learn more about the elements and characteristics
of your beloved beverage, thus, making tea drinking fonder than ever before.
