Tea sourcing
Tea sourcing involves selecting and obtaining high-quality tea leaves from specific regions known for their unique flavors. Producers assess factors like climate, soil, and farming practices to ensure the tea's quality and sustainability. The process may include direct partnerships with growers, sustainable certifications, and quality testing to maintain consistency. Effective sourcing balances flavor profiles, ethical standards, and cost considerations, ensuring consumers receive authentic, well-produced tea. It requires careful evaluation and relationships with farmers and suppliers to secure the best ingredients for different types of tea.
