JITEN SHETH AND HIS JOURNEY WITH TEA

Jiten Sheth, the tea symphonist as he is dearly designated, is as passionate about spreading his love for tea as he is about his own cup of tea. Starting off his day with a warm cup of matcha tea, Jiten speaks of it as an elixir that awakens a refreshing feeling as each sip goes down your throat. With the coming on of afternoon, he swears by his most favourite tea- oolong tea, before and after his meals. Jiten also sips on handpicked yellow chrysanthemum flower tea throughout the day to maintain good health.

Being a passionate tea enthusiast, he also recommends teas for every mood. In that, he suggests going for the infinity pool tea blend, a hibiscus and orange peel tea blend that is packed with Vitamin C for the mornings, followed by a minty yerba maté tea blend to help you get through the day. As the day comes to a close and you’re all set to tuck yourself in bed, Jiten recommends sipping on some freshly brewed goodnight kiss tea blend.

A cup may be half full or half empty, but as long as it is filled with tea, everything is good.

SYMPHONY IN EVERY SIP

Being the first ever Indian to have completed a formal training in tea blending from the International Tea Masters Association (ITMA) in the USA, Jiten wishes to turn tea into every person’s healthy addiction. He has always associated his experience with tea to the melodious sounds of music, both of which are fluid processes that exhilarate one’s soul. Rightly known as the Tea Symphonist at TDT, he also believes that the connection between music and tea is one that is deep, connected by the fact that each progressing sip of tea is different from the other, just like each music note differs from the other. The purity of the process of creating tea and the symphony of music are related in a way that brings novelty to every advancing step, unfolding luxury, sip by sip.

TEA TALES OF OUR IN-HOUSE TEA CONNOISSEUR

He has spent about twenty-five years of his life studying and mastering the knowledge of tea, after his encounter with the Japanese tradition of serving tea to every guest. Having learnt about the process of tea production from the farmers of India, Japan, China, South Korea and Taiwan, Jiten has all the information on tea processing that one would ever need. At the age of fifty, he journeyed up the mountains from Yunnan valley in China to Shizuoka in Japan in his quest to find the best quality of tea, drawing the title of being a ‘Tea Connoisseur’ to himself. Describing tea as the ‘miracle' plant, his eyes light up and lips draw into a wide smile as he explains how the experience of blending tea feels like therapy to him.

"I remember waking up at 2 am to blend our Infinity Pool tea, which is now part of our special blends. I have always held the belief that blending tea is not a process, it's an art. It gives me a very different feeling of tranquillity, something that I wish to extend to all the tea drinkers in the world."
“The art of blending tea is an opportunity for us to douse in the fragrances and delve into botanicals, a chance for us to give a thought to the tea estates and farmers who have spent endless days only to bring the best produce to us”

Jiten is the co-founder and chief blender at Tasse de Thé, pouring his tea-blending expertise directly into teapots and cups that are inspired by his travels from around the world.

Green tea being his favourite, Jiten is full of important insights about the health benefits of tea. He speaks about how he saw the Chinese sip their tea with every meal and live heartily. Jiten speaks of tea like it is a magic potion, laden with umpteen health benefits, it definitely is the quintessential magic plant!

“The experience of drinking tea is not just about gulping down the drink, it is about experimenting and re-tasting the brew, while pushing your senses to explore the aromas and flavours. The experience is about trusting your instincts and tasting the true character of tea.”

For him, tea is not just a beverage, but a feeling of holistic wellness, all in a wholesome cup brewed to perfection.
One of his only messages is to share his love of tea because even drinking tea is similar to a therapeutic experience!
