GOURMET TEA - SPECIAL TASTE


TASTE, TOUCH AND GOURMET TEA

Appreciating excellent gourmet tea requires some time and study; there is a lot to learn, test and experience. As you experiment with gourmet tea, you will find not only a variety of flavors but eventually you will be able to recognize the different grades of tea by touching them.

When I started researching and learning more about gourmet tea and tea, in general, I was amazed to discover that there are more than 2,500 varieties of tea! The variables that affect the final quality and taste of tea are soil and weather combined with the techniques and methods used in growing and cultivating the tea. Of course, the brewing temperature affects the taste and smell of the gourmet tea. Loose leaf teas are always a better quality of tea than the commercial little tea bags.

With so much to learn about gourmet tea, I found a couple of books very helpful. To get the most from your gourmet tea, it is worth the time and energy to study and learn more to really enjoy this wonderful beverage.
