A herbal tea sampler is a small selection intended for exploring several teas. You can create a tasting selection from individually purchased packets without assuming a pre-packed sampler is available.
Keep the first selection manageable
Two or three teas are enough for a useful comparison. A small line-up makes it easier to remember the ingredients and avoid a table full of similar-looking cups. Labels beside each cup help keep the selection clear.
Choose named ingredients
A line-up of individual teas highlights differences between ingredients. A collection of blends instead compares finished recipes. Both can be interesting, but it helps to know which kind of comparison you are making.
Use the packets as references
Each tea needs its own preparation method. Keeping the directions with the selection makes a successful cup easier to repeat. Small servings can be practical when you are comparing several drinks at the same sitting.
Turn the tasting into a useful order
The result may be a list of favourites or ingredients you want to try again. Our shop offers individual teas and separate gift products. This article describes a home tasting idea, not a claim that K&M sells a dedicated sampler under that name.
