Perhaps few other beverages can elicit as many responses as the multitude of specialty teas that have delightfully presented themselves upon the market in recent years. Specialty teas are a line of teas that have taken a creative step outside the typical categories of tea types. Traditionally,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the over 3,000 varieties of teas in the world are categorized by type such as green,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], black, oolong, white (the most rare), pu-erh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and because tea readily absorbs the distinct flavors of other plants, flavored teas tend to be included, though many purists and professionals would disagree, referring to flavor infused teas as tisanes.
Specialty teas, on the other hand are each unique for various reasons, from the location of harvest and type of hand process, or their rarity,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to the infusion of unusual or rare flavors. Fair trade, organic and loose leaf teas are among those considered to be specialty teas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and teas that originate from a single tea estate and have developed a consistent, exotic flavor round out the category.
The exotic and sensual flavors and health and mood benefits that are created by artistically blending tea types with a broad array other herbals and plant ingredients, referred to as specialty teas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], have enjoyed such a tremendous growth in recent years that the term 'specialty' is felt to have become too vague and overused. Now, often referred to as artisanal teas, the term better describes the hand crafted character of teas that defy tradition.
Eastern cultures have long recognized the value of teas for health and wellness, and Western cultures are recently embracing the same,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but seem to be using the inspiration of specialty teas to push the benefits a bit further. By infusing specialty or artisanal teas with healthful qualities of plants such as mint,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], citrus, pomegranate,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], almonds and several categories of healthful herbs, tea lovers have the best of both world of antioxidants, vitamins and mood enhancers in a delicious drink.
Specialty or artisanal teas are becoming more easily found with dedicated sections springing up in local markets everywhere. However, there remain a few more rare types or blends that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], while distant, and more costly, may still be had with a few clicks of a mouse.
The world of specialty teas is deliciously inviting, amazingly versatile, and wonderfully affordable! One savored sip of a tea blend,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], processed by hand on a remote Asian estate, can open one's taste buds to a whole new world of flavor and level of enjoyment. Specialty teas are the artisans new canvas and the creations are divine.
