Tea for Beginners: Smooth Loose Leaf Starter Teas
"Tea for Beginners is Lorantea's starter collection for people who want to enter loose leaf tea without guessing through dozens of unfamiliar names."
A good first tea should be easy to enjoy, forgiving to brew and clear enough to teach your taste preference. This collection focuses on smooth green tea, gentle white tea, mild oolong and mellow pu-erh rather than the most intense or expensive teas.
Start with a sampler if you are unsure. Choose by taste first: fresh and clean, floral and aromatic, warm and malty, or dark and mellow. Once you know what you like, move into tea-type collections for deeper choices.
