Kolkata hosts one of the world's oldest tea auction centres. Buyers bid on thousands of lots a week, each from a garden, grade and invoice, then blend them to a consistent taste and price for packets or bulk buyers.

Blending
A blend is a recipe of lots that must hit a taste profile and a cost. The system holds blend sheets, reserves lots, and computes blend cost as lots are substituted.
The blender's skill is taste. The system's job is to tell him what that taste costs today.
