T Blend

First blended in 1994, this signature classic marked a breakthrough in intricate blending techniques and ushered in TEALEAVES' collaboration with the world's most prestigious chefs. Inspired by the mantra of blending teas from the Four Corners of the World, the Master Blenders set out to craft a blend that meticulously balanced the most desirable notes of the "greatest" teas from China (black, oolong, green) and India (black)—aiming to create a tea greater than the sum of its parts. Here, the challenge is best understood in terms of harmonization—the culinary concept of accentuating a cadence of notes (taste, aroma) to create refined, complementary layers.

The art of blending lies in achieving perfect harmony, not haphazardly combining tea harvests.

Each morning, when the palate is at its freshest, our Master Blenders meticulously cup and scrutinize every chest of tea. Guided by the memory of each sip, they thoughtfully integrate the key notes of each ingredient, balancing any deficiencies by blending with profiles that enhance as a "meritage". The result is a tea with a unified, sophisticated flavor profile—a true testament to the mastery of our blending philosophy.
