Facts and Stories on Papaya

Papayas originate from Mexico and S. America and are now grown in the Caribbean Islands and as far away as Australia and India. Christopher Columbus gave it the compliment of being the fruit of angels.

The fruit can grow up to 20 inches but in the supermarkets it is usually around 8 inches and has a rich orange color with yellow or pink hues and has seeds. The fruit is very sweet, similar texture to a melon and has some undertones of what some call musk. Papayas are often blended with mangoes in tropical drinks.

English Tealeaves sells over 125 high quality teas that are "cherry picked" from over 15 suppliers who specialize in specific types and countries. This gives us the flexibility to find the best of the best. We also blend around 8 teas ourselves that can't be obtained to our standards. For example our #1 selling tea, English Breakfast is our own blend that we created in 2002.

Our Cafe customers give feedback and we discontinue the ones that get poor ratings. We also look to improve our teas and will replace a standard tea, like say Mango, with a higher quality blend from another supplier.

The teas are selected after evaluation in these seven areas and then the scores are weighted to decide if they qualify for inclusion in our range:

Dry leaf appearance
Dry leaf aroma
Brewed infusion color
Aroma brewed
Hot taste
Iced taste
After taste

We also have at least 3 tasters and then compare notes and vote.
