Tea and Tea Blending, 4th Ed‪.‬

Featuring information on blending techniques for Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Sri Lankan and Java teas, this 1894 volume explains the importance of blending teas for those in the tea industry. Tea blenders use various additives or natural flavors to create a new tea. Originally, tea blending was used to create teas with tastes suitable for various times of day, having lighter teas for breakfast and heavier ones for dinner. Today, teas are blended with flowers like jasmine and lotus, herbs like mint and other flavorings like rum or orange peels.
