Tea Tasting at Matheson, McClaren & Co., Edinburgh (1909): A Captivating Moment in Scotland's Tea Tradition This evocative photograph, taken in 1909, captures a moment of quiet concentration and dedication at Matheson, McClaren & Co., a renowned tea merchant in Edinburgh. The scene unfolds in a dimly lit room, where two tasters, dressed in formal attire, compare and contrast the nuances of different tea leaves. The air is thick with the aromatic scent of freshly brewed tea, as the men carefully examine the color, texture, and taste of each sample. The tasters' expressions are intense, as they focus on the subtle differences between the various tea varieties. The table before them is adorned with an array of tea boxes, each one representing a unique origin and blend. The cups, filled with steaming tea, sit at the ready, allowing the tasters to take their time and savor each distinct flavor. The tea tasting process was a meticulous and essential part of Matheson, McClaren & Co.'s business. As one of Scotland's leading tea merchants, the company prided itself on sourcing only the finest teas from around the world and ensuring that each batch met their exacting standards. The tasters' expertise and discernment were crucial in maintaining the company's reputation for excellence. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when tea tasting was an art form in itself. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and tradition surrounding Scotland's tea industry and the dedication of those who played a vital role in bringing the finest teas to the Scottish market.
