Blended Teas

Blends – Blended teas provide a fantastic cup to meeting several culinary needs at once. And have been in existence almost as long as the cultivation of tea has. Blends allow for several benefits: creating consistent flavor with a product that is naturally unique in character from flushing to flushing, develop a tea that has a balance of desired characteristics and finally allows for the creation of new tea flavor profiles.

For example the G.S. Haly Co.’s English Breakfast blend’s briskness, pungency and strength is designed to match well with sugar, milk and heavier foods. Also we offer teas that are excellence for use in creating your own blends.

FOP – Item: 5042 – Standard Min: 61Lbs [Kosher]

Tea bushes grown in this area produce a very thick, glossy, broad leaf. Grown elsewhere, the same bush will produce a typical "China Leaf" look, which is narrow, thin and dull in comparison. Teas from Yunnan range from typical black teas to amazingly colorful, "tippy" teas. Most have a "peppery" quality that is distinctively Yunnan. Yunnan teas are relatively new, as far as Chinese production efforts, having only been in commercial production since 1949. It offers a strong brisk cup with spicy overtones and a lovely gold/black colored leaf.
