A Realization

Though it seems too obvious, I recently realized that every time we sit down to cup/taste teas, we’re working! Here we are at work during a recent cupping. We’ve decided to limit the number of teas we stock to around 40. I’ve seen lists of up to 150+ teas in some shops. I like a selection and all, but these massive lists honestly just make my head swim. It seems as though curating a smaller selection would be easier, but it’s actually pretty tough. It’s hard to resist the temptation of adding more to the list. Still, we would rather feature fewer teas, establish a solid baseline of what our customers want on a more regular basis, then have a little wiggle room to change teas out from season to season. It’s a good way to keep ourselves honest, searching for new teas to feature without becoming complacent.

We are still in the process of refining our Japanese tea offerings, then it’s on to our Indian selection. We have our Chinese selection pretty solidified. Stay tuned for more, and always feel free to give us feedback on anything you’d like to see at Halcyon Tea. Thanks!
