On the Merits of Blending Your Own Tea
[Editor’s note: the following article uses the term “blend” to refer to both blended and flavored teas, which are actually two very different things as shown in this other article on our blog.] There are a lot of tea vendors out there who offer a blend-your-own-tea option, but how useful is this, really?
