“We start with a full-bodied black tea from Western China and add to it several classic Chinese greens – all in the proper proportion of course – and then we let the blend rest for a brief period of time to allow the flavors to meld. It is quirky blending different classes of tea, but Bob does this quite a bit (as he mixes disparate leaf shapes, too). There is an art to blending tea well, so that the end result is greater tasting than the teas that comprise the sum of it’s parts,”
