Preparing for Tea Tasting

• Your average tea bag contains 3 gms

of tea, steeped in 200ml of freshly

drawn water. Never reheat the kettle.

• Tea tasters taste 5 gms of tea in

200ml so all of the characteristics

can be evaluated; good, bad and

indifferent

Green and white tea should be brewed

with slightly under boiled water. The

leaves of White tea and green tea will

have a bitter flavour if heated too much

Black and herbal tea require a full boil

It is essential to know that right treatment for the

particular type of tea being prepared, it helps keep the

flavor intact.

Tea Tasting Notes1. AROMA:

According to studies 90% of what we taste iswhat we smell. Take a deep, long inhale as youbring the tea to your mouth, so that the aromamingles with what you’re tasting on yourtongue.

2. SLURP:Slurping helps your tea cool and allows yourpalette to taste it in a better way. Allowing it totouch every part of your palette, giving youfull range to its flavor.

3. SPIT:Yes, that's right! Spit it all out to avoid overconsumption of liquid throughout the day.
