Reading a Tea Label: A Buyer's Checklist
Origin, grade, harvest date and packaging tell you what you're really buying.
A good label answers a few key questions.
What to look for
Where the tea is from, the grade or leaf style, when it was harvested or packed, and whether it is single-origin or a blend. Look for a clear origin, a sensible best-before date and protective packaging.
