Stop drinking tea. Start tasting it.
Twelve guided tastings by Sarah de Witt, certified tea sommelier and international tea judge, and co-founder of Impala & Peacock. Fifteen minutes a week, at your kitchen bench, with tea you already own. Nose first, tongue second, opinions last.
What is in the guide
-
Twelve guided tastings in four parts: the senses, the body, the variables and the palate. Each one has a rule, a short note from Sarah, the method and a page to write on.
-
The Sommelier's Six Steps. The whole method on one page.
-
Ten printable tasting sheets for every new tea that comes into the house.
-
The Tea Wheel cheat sheet. Water temperatures and steep times for fourteen kinds of tea.
-
Five bonuses: the 10-Minute Tasting, Host a Tasting Night, eight tea and food pairings, a hundred-word tasting vocabulary and the Flavour Wheel.
Tea for the tastings
Every tasting works with tea from your own cupboard, wherever you are. If you would rather have everything in one place, the Tea Taster Sample Box holds the ten teas the guide is written around, and comes with this guide for less.
