"Tea-Blending as a Fine Art" by Joseph M. Walsh is a comprehensive guide on the art and science of tea blending, written in the late 19th century. The book explores the intricacies of selecting and combining various types of tea to create harmonious blends that satisfy different consumer preferences and enhance profitability for dealers. Through detailed information about the characteristics of numerous tea varieties, it aims to educate traders on how to successfully manage their tea selections and thus improve their sales. The opening of the work introduces the reader to the importance of tea in commerce, emphasizing how essential it is for grocers to understand this commodity in terms of variety and quality. Walsh discusses the challenges faced by dealers in selecting teas that cater to diverse consumer tastes while also stressing that tea blending, when done skillfully, can lead to superior products that are both appealing and economical.
