Feb 11th Tea Tasting

The theme of the session is about fermentation. We are going to taste the tea from different stage of fermentation. 

Many types of tea come from the same plant, Camellia Sinensis. The different types of tea are the result of differences in the tea manufacturing process.

One of the key steps in the tea manufacturing process is the degree of fermentation the tea leaves. It means how much a tea is allowed to undergo enzymatic oxidation before drying. This oxidation process may be stopped by either roasting or steaming the leaves before they are completely dried out. Through fermentation, the originally deep green leaves become reddish-brown color. The longer is the fermentation, the darker is the color. Depending on the length of roasting and degree of fermentation, the fragrance can range from floral to fruity and malty.
