About 84% of all tea consumed in the US is black tea. In this class, we’ll place our focus on the ever-popular black tea category, covering the process of how black tea is made from farm to cup.
We’ll discuss growing regions, leaf grading, steeping techniques, caffeine content, health benefits, food pairings and more. Learn some new tasting terms which you can practice using while we taste and evaluate a variety of black teas from different origins. We’ll also taste two black tea blends made here at Smith.
This class is perfect for tea novices looking to gain comfort in the world of tea and aficionados that would like to learn more about their favorite teas, all levels are welcome. Sure to sell out, so grab a spot while you can!
