Tasting notes & sources

Herbal infusions aren't tea

Herbal blends (tisanes) contain no Camellia sinensis, so most are caffeine-free. Always use freshly boiled water for herbal and fruit infusions — the UK Food Standards Agency advises it for food safety. Follow the producer's directions where they differ, and check with a doctor about herbs during pregnancy or with medications.

Why ISO 3103?

ISO 3103 is a standardized tasting method used for sensory evaluation and quality control. It's how professionals compare teas fairly, not necessarily the best-tasting cup.
