Blended to perfection, or close to it
Did you know that nothing is ever really static in the tea industry? Think about it for a minute – every year gardens grow more camellia sinensis, and those “two leaves and a bud” that are plucked for your daily cuppa’ tea are different from year to year. In fact, it’s a lot like wine and grapes, but few people who don’t work in the tea business probably think about this while they’re steeping tea leaves. So it makes sense that our founder and CEO, Richard Rosenfeld, spends a lot of time tasting different blends of tea. “It can be very difficult – every season we have to get new tea. Our Assam this year was particularly challenging, because two primary producers decided to stop producing organic tea,” he says. “We needed to find organic Assam at other gardens, and that’s … Continue reading
Top five tea tidbits
Do you like a good piece of trivia as much as we do? This may seem like a no-brainer, but we like bits of tea-related trivia even more. Like many things with a lengthy history, a great deal of legend and myth surrounds the story behind drinking tea. Take, for instance, the legend behind how someone figured out in the first place that if you take leaves from the Camellia sinensis bush and add hot water, you end up with a unique drink. On our website we mention just one such legend: Around 2737 BC, Shennong, the Emperor of China and inventor of Chinese medicine, was drinking a bowl of boiled water when a leaf from a nearby Camellia sinensis bush fell into his drink. He sipped, he liked it, end of story. And we say, who really knows? Isn’t … Continue reading

Heat for the perfect steep
Boil, plunk, and enjoy. As in, boil your water, plunk in the tea sachet, and drink your tea. Aren’t those the basic rules for making tea? Actually, no. At two leaves and a bud, we think if you’re going to enjoy a premium cuppa’ our whole leaf tea, you might want to learn a bit more about how to prepare one so you get the most out of every leaf. So consider, for a minute, that the temperature of the water you’re preparing for tea is just as important as the time you allot for steeping the tea. After all, you want to brew up the best tea you can, don’t you? But not to worry — we’re not about to intimidate you with how you should buy a fancy-schmancy thermometer to painstakingly take the temperature of each kettle you’re … Continue reading

A new world of tea to explore
If I asked you if you’d like a cup of tea, what kind would you want? In your head you’re going through all the varieties of tea you can think of, trying to make a decision. Maybe Earl Grey, Chamomile, some variety of green tea … But how about Lapsang Souchong? Or Pinhead Gunpowder? Or Silver Needles? Did you think of those? The world of tea is really, really large. Consider that at two leaves and a bud we have 16 different offerings of tea that come in sachets, but those barely scratch the surface of how many varieties of tea are out there. This is one reason why we recently started offering 15 new teas only in loose form, known as our “exclusively loose” line of teas. These are wildly different teas — from the polarizing smokiness of the … Continue reading
