Tea Tasting Skills
Dear Tea Enthusiasts,
The difficulty of the first step of tasting
Many tea lovers find tasting daunting and its jargon sometimes off-putting. Even if they understand its usefulness, I feel that they are often content with getting a set of tasting cups and buying five different types of tea, and understand very little of the details. Over the course of my career, I have been asked, "What do I do when tasting tea?" I have been asked many times.
Trying to explain the process and get to the meaning and significance of it will probably help your understanding of tasting.
