Blender

Many tea enthusiasts have a common question: Is Pu'er tea better when it's blended or single-origin? In the subconscious of most Chinese people, pure bloodlines are considered superior. What is Blended and Single-Origin Tea? Popular terms in the Pu'er tea industry include small production areas, famous mountains, and ancient single-origin... Among these, "ancient single-origin" is the most beautiful yet dangerous term. Strictly speaking, single-origin refers to tea leaves of the same grade picked from the same tree at the same time. However, following this standard, the tea leaves from one tree would hardly make a few cakes of tea. The large quantities of so-called ancient tree single-origin teas that can be sold for years make "single-origin" a somewhat misleading term to some extent. Blended tea, on the other hand, refers to tea leaves from different origins but the same quality, or from the same origin but different grades, mixed according to a specific formula. During the production process, the blender combines the characteristics of the tea to create unique blends with distinct color, aroma, taste, and appearance.
