The tea drinker expects his daily cup to be consistent in quality and taste throughout the year, despite the fact that teas from different gardens show different characteristics at different times. This is where the art of tea tasting and blending comes in. The tea taster, with his unique expertise, selects teas from different lots and blends them together to match a standard sample blend. This is why the cup of tea that you get from a particular packet today remains the same next month, and the next year.
