Eduard/Teas is a Berlin-based online tea company founded by tea sommelier Eduardo Molina Anfossi that launched in December. Selections are limited-edition seasonal teas curated by terroir. Collections are introduced quarterly, and loose-leaf teas are sold individually in 20g and 40g pouches, or as a set of five. The initial collection is Eduard/Himalaya, sourced from Nepal, Darjeeling, and Sikkim. Selections are guided by sensory evaluation, stylistic balance, and how individual teas work together as a collection. Molina explains that success for Eduard/Teas is defined by the growth of a knowledgeable and engaged community, the ability to educate and inspire through storytelling, and establishing transparency as an industry standard. The first teas shipped in January. Distribution is limited for now, but expanding. |Tea Biz Blog | Podcast https://redcircle.com/shows/a4e90858-0820-4c9b-a596-550918050867/episodes/87f026eb-9071-4c17-9acd-10bf8c9f1fff

Is the Great Caffeine Divide Finally Closing?
For decades, we have been told the world is split into two camps: the coffee-driven and the tea-inspired. But as we step into 2026, the data and our palate suggest something far more interesting is brewing.
From the rise of "slow living" rituals to the scientific crossover of plant-based sustainability, the traditional coffee drinker is increasingly reaching for the gaiwan. It isn't just about the caffeine; it’s about a global shift toward mindfulness, nuance, and the pursuit of a "cleaner" energy.
In our latest feature, our editor @banjaranfoodie explores why this year marks a pivotal moment for the industry and why the coffee-to-tea pipeline is more active than ever. Are you a former coffee loyalist who found a home in tea? Or do you enjoy the best of both worlds?

Nature vs. Nurture? In the world of tea, the DNA just took the lead.
Ever wonder why some tea buds are tiny and delicate while others are bold and hearty? It’s not just the soil or the weather. It’s a genetic "master switch" called CsKNOX6.
Scientists have officially decoded the gene that dictates bud size, and it’s about to change everything from how tea is harvested to how your favorite cup tastes.
What this means for your tea: More consistent quality in your favorite origins. New varieties that can stand up to climate change. A fascinating bridge between ancient tradition and modern science.
The next time you are sipping a delicate white tea or a bold brew, remember: there’s a microscopic masterpiece at work behind every leaf.
Want to geek out on the science? Tap the link in our bio to read "The Tea Bud Gene" and discover the future of the leaf.
