Now first things first. Despite the headline, I try to buy tea in person whenever I can. The only way to know if you'll like a tea is to taste it, and any tea shop that's proud of its selection should be happy to brew you a sample and talk through what's interesting about it.
The tea business is all about relationships; not just between farmers and buyers, but between consumers and tea merchants. I've learned more about tea from talking to tea sellers than from any book or article, and tasting your way through a shop's selection is the only way to get a sense of your merchant's own tastes.
But specialty tea is a niche market, and a good shop is hard to find, even in big cities like New York. So us tea-loving folk have to take to the internet to find our tea.
Start searching for sources and you'll get flooded by options at all kinds of price points, along with crowdsourced websites full of reviews. What tea is really worth the cost? It's often impossible to tell until it's too late.
When cutting through the digital clutter of online tea stores, it helps to have some guidelines. Here are mine. Beware the chains. I don't need to name names, but you know the ones I'm talking about. You see them in malls and major tourist shopping districts.
They carry more chocolate chai or lavender-lemongrass blends than straight tea. By and large, these chains just don't carry quality tea. They buy leaves in vast quantities through middlemen brokers, then add so many spices and herbs to their blends that it's often impossible to taste the tea underneath see here for more thoughts on flavored tea versus flavorful tea. The straight tea these chains do sell tends not to be particularly great, either.
Better than teabags to be sure, but hardly first-rate stuff. You can do better. Instead, think small. My favorite tea shops don't have huge selections. That's because the teas they sell have been picked out by the owner or some stake-holding staff member who's visited individual tea farms. Some of the best tea in the world is sold entirely through personal deals and never makes it to wholesale accounts. A shop owner who flew halfway around the world to wander through the mountains, meet with farmers, and taste tea, who then brings back just eight or so teas to sell that season, is likely a true believer in those products.
She's proud of them. She wants you to love them as much as she does. By comparison, if a website's offering you types of tea from 12 countries, they're likely buying them through brokers, not directly. That by no means dictates that the company isn't selling quality tea—many absolutely do.
But as with any specialty food, following a discerning fanatic's personal recommendations usually yields superior results. When reading product descriptions, look for detailed descriptions of farmers' methods for growing and processing their tea, evidence that company buyers have seen the tea fields with their own eyes and have a good relationship with their farmers.
Seek out specialists. No single tea shop can handle all your tea needs. While more established companies may offer wide selections obtained through networks of skilled buyers, others are fanatically devoted to single types of tea, like Japanese greens or Taiwanese oolongs. Not only will these companies have more in-depth and diverse selections within that category, but they're also more likely to be experts who really know their stuff.
Don't be afraid to pick up the phone. You might have questions when trawling a tea website that no FAQ page can answer. So if the site is an online store for a physical shop, try giving them a call. Many tea shop employees are happy to answer any tea questions on your mind, and there's no better way to learn more about what you're buying. Of course, not every shop is willing to chat, or will have the time, but if it's staffed by tea fanatics, they probably like to share the tea love.
Prepare for some high prices. Not all expensive tea is good tea, and not all good tea is wildly expensive. But quality tea leaves, grown on good land and processed with skill and care, undoubtedly cost more than what you'll pay at the supermarket. Think of it this way. Just starting my tea journey. I have been to Murchies in Canada.
Love their pouches to put the tea in as well. I really enjoyed stash Earl Grey on a recent trip. Any suggestions for something comparable or even better in flavor? Also, what about decaf Earl Grey or any other decaf tea. Should the flavor of a decaf be the same as a caffeinated tea? They have a few options at different price points. Hi, Thank you very much for your exquisite information on Afternoon Tea.
You have guided us through the ins and the outs of having afternoon tea to a tee I would like to say. However, let me elaborate a bit on black tea and where to get the different varieties and types of black tea. Also, I would like to say that for brewing black tea the number of tea leaves to a cup is — 1 teaspoon of black tea for the pot and 1 teaspoon for the cup! If you are making two cups of tea you add 1 tsp for the pot and 2 tsps for the cups and so on.
Ceylon Tea is the most famous and much loved types of black tea are available on the market today. Tea garden fresh. Have there been problems with that site, been hacked for data, etc? Hoped to give Camellia Sinensis a go?
Thanks, frederick. Currently I shop Stash.
