Creating a personal tea collection will open up a world of sensory pleasures. Why not download a free copy of our tea book A Beginner's Guide To Tea and discover more about the fascinating history and story of tea. Brewing and drinking leaf tea is about making time in your day to pause, refresh, and gather your thoughts. Take time to appreciate the subtle nuances, the complexity of flavours, the production methods, and history behind each type of tea. With so many different teas to discover, many tea enthusiasts quickly develop a preference for specific strengths, styles, and flavours, and dedicate their time to curating a personal selection of teas that reflect their tastes, preferences, and even their travels around the world.

One of the joys of building a personal tea collection is the opportunity to experiment with different brewing methods. Traditional brewing in teapots or tea infusers is the most common method in the West, but there are many other techniques to explore. For instance, the Gongfu style of brewing, used in Chinese tea culture, involves multiple short steeps to enhance the flavors of high-quality teas. Additionally, the popularity of cold brewing has risen, providing a refreshing alternative to hot tea, especially during the summer months.

When considering which teas to add to your collection, think about the diversity of flavours and styles. A well-rounded tea collection might include various types of black, green, white, oolong, fermented, and herbal teas, each offering its unique tasting experience. Furthermore, seasonal teas can add excitement; for example, you might enjoy lighter teas in spring and summer, while richer, spicier blends may be preferable in autumn and winter.

Another exciting aspect of creating your own tea collection is the potential for discovering rare and limited-edition teas. Our tea collection includes a number of single origin teas, as well as organic and Fairtrade options, whilst for true tea connoisseurs the teas grown and produced locally at Peterston Tea Estate here in South Wales offer award winning refined leaf teas of exceptional quality.

Correct storage of leaf tea is essential to maintain its freshness and flavor. An airtight container such as our double-lid tea caddies are ideal. Store your tea in a cool, dark place to protect your precious leaves from moisture, light, and air, which can degrade their quality over time.

In conclusion, creating a personalised tea collection allows enthusiasts to dive deeper into the world of teas, exploring the myriad of flavors and traditions. There is much to discover, appreciate, and enjoy in the world of speciality teas, and we hope that you will enjoy exploring our carefully selected tea collections and finding your own personal favourites.
