Description
Culinary Teas is a small woman owned partnership that specializes in tea and tea accessories. We opened our e-commerce site in April of 2001 with the goal of one day opening a store front and tearoom. We have grown and become members of the Specialty Tea Institute. One of the partners is Candie Yoder who is a tea expert. Candie?s culinary background makes her uniquely skilled at tasting and creating new tea blends. All our teas and taste tested or cupped regularly to make sure that we are always offering only top quality teas. A teas quality can fluctuate quite a bit from year to year and sometimes just from flush to flush depending on weather and the estates management so it is very important to taste every batch coming as it arrives. Some companies make much ado about the freshness of their teas but their improper storage or premature packaging of their tea makes young tea old before its time. We have a freshness method that we employ to make sure the tea you receive is the freshest available. We make sure that our tea gets very little oxygen and light exposure and safe from premature aging and scent contamination. Your tea is packaged after you order it so that does not spend unnecessary time sitting on a shelf and our packaging is ideal for keeping your tea fresh while you use it at home. Some other tea vendor?s use similar packaging but they have windows or clear areas that allow light to damage the tea...
