Teaman's Etsy Shop is one of our favorite places to buy hand blended teas. We have included his tea in several of our club shipments and we will be giving away free samples with every non-club order over $30 placed in February. We asked Tim to tell us a little more about how he got into tea-blending and answer some interview questions:
How and why did you get into tea blending?
I used to blend tea for a company in Canada back in the 90's before moving to the US. More about Tim's past experience can be read on his blog.
Where do you find inspiration for new flavors?
I usually take note of popular beverages that employ new combinations and get my wheels turning as to if this same combination would work with tea.
Describe your favorite tea drinking scenario.
Nothing beats a tall glass of iced Chai Yerba Mate in the heat and sun of a summer day!
