Tea is grown in more than thirty countries and each region produces a leaf with its own particular characteristic. Some characteristics to look out for;

Strength; A tea with a good body. Strong teas can be blended with other teas to give the blend a full flavour.

Briskness; The briskness of a tea is what tea experts refer to when describing a tea, which is refreshing.

Malty; This describes a tea, which has a “caramel” like flavour.

Muscatel; A dry and aromatic flavour.
