Ask about their cup
Ask about floral, malty or roasted flavors, usual brewing equipment, caffeine and avoided ingredients. Tea Finder suggests styles; it cannot guarantee enjoyment or verify lower caffeine.
A sample set beats a blind large cake
Give a few labeled small samples with different flavors and supplier instructions. Avoid a large cake or strong smoky or earthy style without knowing their taste. These are planning suggestions, not tested products.
Make the first brew easy
A roomy basket strainer can suit an existing heat-safe mug. Check fit and cleaning. A gaiwan is optional. Include leaf amount, water volume and time; expensive clay is unnecessary.
Keep the label and leave room for preference
Keep ingredient labels and a gift receipt when available. Do not promise health benefits. Our current tea-tree catalog does not suit a caffeine-free requirement; check another product’s complete ingredients.
