THE ART OF TEA BLENDING

Everyone has his favorite tea, appreciated for its unique taste and aroma. And we buy it regularly because we are sure of its quality and taste. The secret of consistent high quality lies in tea blending.

To taste tea, experts slurp it to the back of their throats to atomize it, allowing them to taste and smell simultaneously.

Blending tea gives it subtle tones and flavors. In fact, in one Lipton tea bag, there may be as many as 30 different types of teas.Blending tea is an art-form. No two teas are ever the same, even if they're from the same estate. Tea plucked and manufactured on a wet day, for example, is different from that produced on a dry day. As a result, it is not unusual for a tea garden to produce teas of different qualities throughout the course of a single season. Like wine, the quality of tea varies enormously according to country of origin, weather conditions, altitudes and the structure and quality of the soil.

At LIPTON, we have a team of fully trained Tea Tasters skilled in the art and science of tea. It is the role of the Tea Taster to make sure teas are blended perfectly to meet our standards of quality. Lipton Yellow Label is blended in specialized tasting rooms in 7 tea blending regional hubs scattered all over the world- by a small group of professional Tea Tasters, who between them have over 150 years of tasting and blending experience.
