You taste tea by aerating the liquid and allowing your tongue to experience it from all directions to fully appreciate its flavors. This is similar to wine tasting.
Steps to Properly Taste Tea
Here's a breakdown of how to properly taste tea:
- Aeration: The key is to aerate the tea as you taste it. Like with wine, a quick, sharp intake of the tea pumps it full of oxygen. This helps bring out the flavors.
- Taste: Once the oxygenated tea is in your mouth, take your time.
- Tongue Movement: Allow your tongue to pass through it from all directions, ensuring that all parts of your tongue experience the tea.
