Question 14

Why is blending necessary for tea?

Answer

The tea plant is greatly affected by the type of climate it is grown in. Thus by blending, the tea planter prepares his own brand to supply his customers on the basis of its flavour, colour and texture. Each brand will have its own characteristic flavour and the blend is a closely guarded secret.
