Where does the blend of white teas come from
Blends of different teas were born in ancient times to mix flavors, aromas and consistencies in a single cup of tea. Furthermore, blending tea allows you to maintain consistency between types, as for the blend of white teas, or by region, year of cultivation, etc. By mixing the various ingredients of the blend, surprising results are obtained both in terms of taste and health characteristics (more antioxidants, for example). Chinese tea blends have been known for over 2000 years, mentioned in the first known book on the subject "The Classic of Tea" by Lu Yu (around 760 AD). At that time, there was already talk of the ingredients that can be added to tea, especially herbs and medicines, and implicitly also of the addition of similar teas. Two of the most famous centuries-old blends are jasmine tea and Earl Grey tea, which were born more recently, while in some Chinese areas orange peels were mixed into the tea, while in Tibet it was common to add yak butter and salt. The history of mixing different teas, however, accelerated in the 19th century, when tea became increasingly popular in Great Britain, and various combinations began to be experimented with. While this has happened mainly with black tea and at a commercial level, also for other types of loose leaf teas, fine blends are practiced, such as for superior blend white tea. In this case, different types of tea have been combined, including green Chun Mee, to create a combination that expresses the best qualitiesof each variety.
