Just as wine, tea tasting follows a very precise ritual, the object of which is to highlight the best qualities and defects of tea and often to compare the different batches produced from the same harvest. The taster’s glossary that follows list the vocabulary used by tasters and allows the sensation felt during the drinking of tea to be described with different technical terms:
“Aromatic” that is said of a liqueur that is strong and high in flavour.
“Biting” this denotes a tea which is both astringent and sour and that leaves a strong and lasting impression.
“Body” characteristic of a beverage that carries a good constitution with warm aromas’
“Frank” this denotes tea whose characteristics (colour, scent, flavour, aromas….) are well defined and express themselves unfailingly and without ambiguity.
In grading of tea the finest crop composed of final bud with following two leaves known as the Orange flowery pekoe. The term “orange” comes from the name of the Dutch Dynasty Orange Nassau and word Pekoe comes from Chinese word Pak ho meaning “fine hair” or “down” and denotes the end bud, which gives an impression of white down.
