Tea
accessories are an essential
element in preparing the perfect cup of
a steaming, flavorful blend. So is
product knowledge. At specialteas we
strive to impart important information
on the varieties you are buying.
Before you buy your tea accessories,
learn a little about the beverage we all
love so much. It is hard to believe, but
all our varieties comes from essentially
the same plant, the Camellia Sinensis, a
tropical relative of the Camellia
Japonica that might even grow in your
garden. The differences between the
well-over two thousand types result from
variations in the processing of the
leaves after they are harvested. There
are essentially four different methods
of manufacturing tea that give us the
four major categories: black, oolong,
green and white. A little knowledge will
deepen your appreciation as you which
tea and which accessories to purchase.
At special teas we don’t just sell tea
accessories, we truly love this
fascinating, delicious and unique
substance.
