Frequently Asked Questions about Tea Tastings

1. Are there any specific tasting notes I should be aware of when sampling different teas?

Yes, each type of tea comes with its unique tasting notes. For instance:

Black Tea: Look for notes of malt, chocolate, or spices.
Green Tea: Expect grassy, vegetal, or nutty flavours.
Oolong Tea: Offers a range of tastes from floral to creamy and even fruity.

2.How does the water temperature affect the tea's flavour during infusion?

The temperature of the water plays a crucial role in tea infusion. Different teas require different temperatures to optimally release their flavours and aromas. For instance, green teas often need cooler water (about 70-80°C) to prevent bitterness, while black teas are best brewed with hotter water (around 90-100°C) to extract their full, rich flavours.
