Discover the Art of Tea Blending with Betjeman & Barton

In the world of tea, a blend is the art of achieving the perfect balance of flavors. A tea blend combines various tea varieties to create a completely new fragrance. This category of tea invites you on a journey of exploration, offering blends that are sometimes bold, light, smoky, or aromatic. Each tea blend tells a story, the tale of the varieties it brings together to offer a tailor-made tasting experience.

Indulge in our carefully curated selection of tea blends, designed to delight tea lovers with each sip.

The Perfect Harmony of a Tea Blend

A tea blend is a combination of different tea varieties, bringing together diverse flavors and origins. It is defined by its unique taste and perfect harmony. Most tea blends—especially those we offer at Betjeman & Barton—are made with black teas. Black tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, and its distinct characteristic comes from the long fermentation process, which oxidizes the leaves, giving black tea its signature flavor and color.

While black tea can be enjoyed on its own, it is often blended with other exceptional varieties, such as those from India, Ceylon, and China, to create remarkable blends.

Tea blends can also vary according to the time of day. Some blends are more stimulating for the morning, while others are lighter and more relaxing for the afternoon. You can also pair a tea blend with a dash of milk for breakfast or a slice of orange for a refreshing twist.
