Tea Samplers for Tea Time Choices

Whether it's a formal tea party you are planning, or just enjoying a relaxing cup of tea by yourself, having choices for which kind of tea you will serve makes sense. And tea samplers are the perfect way to offer those choices.

Different varieties of tea can be displayed in a beautiful chest or case designed to showcase your tea varieties. Or you can simply have them all spread on a special serving plate to allow your guests to choose which one they would like.

Tea samplers are also a fun way to try different flavors of tea. Usually, the tea manufacturer offers just a small amount of each variety. But they offer lots of their varieties. Some tea samplers are put together in a theme, like green tea flavors, black tea flavors, etc. You can get samplers in either tea bags or loose tea.

Personally, I enjoy loose tea best. But, that has it's drawbacks. There is more clean up with loose tea. You don't just pull the bag out and toss it. Loose tea requires a strainer of some kind and that, along with pot need to be cleaned of all the bits of tea leaves. For me, that's a small price to pay for the richer flavor that usually accompanies loose tea.

No matter which way you prefer to get your tea, samplers are a fun way to try out different varieties and to offer to your guests choices. Let's not forget, tea samplers make great gifts, too. When I got my first chest filled with wonderful tea choices, I was hooked!
