Blend
A tea created by blending multiple tea leaves to design a specific flavor profile, often serving as a flagship product for brands.
A blend is a type of black tea made by combining leaves from different origins or harvest periods. While single-origin teas can vary in flavor from year to year, blends can be adjusted to consistently recreate the 'usual taste.'
Many flagship products have emerged, such as English Breakfast and Royal Blend, where brands compete to create unique combinations. This world of tea culture is exemplified by blenders, artisans who taste dozens of tea leaves to craft the desired flavor profile.
