A closer look
Choose your next tea with a clearer idea of what you might enjoy.
There are plenty of teas to try, but the names on the shelf do not always make the next choice easier. You do not need to become an expert before finding something you enjoy.
Find Your Tea gives you a friendly way into the subject. Explore the main styles, learn what a label can tell you and begin putting your own impressions into words. Simple comparisons help you notice differences without a long shopping list or formal tasting vocabulary.
Inside, you will find clear explanations, practical prompts, tasting notes and ideas for choosing a small selection to explore. You will also learn how to keep your tea organised and stored thoughtfully.
Come away with a clearer starting point for your next cup, and a way to keep discovering what suits your taste.
