===============================================================
Zhuping kept a weekly ritual for nearly 15 years: she hosted a tea tasting every Friday afternoon at our teahouse. Her ritual not only let her taste a lot of tea, it introduced her to new friends and taught her so much about how to introduce Chinese tea to people and help them explore their interest in it.
Zhuping is looking forward to starting this tradition up again as soon as possible. But during these months without her usual tea tastings, Zhuping got to thinking -- why not offer a virtual tasting along with tea samples that’s designed to help people learn about different styles and different qualities of tea?
So she made just that.
Now you can bring the Seven Cups tea tasting experience home with you in a way that fits your schedule. You can even gift it to a friend.
This sampler is designed as a comparative tasting of four teas, two green and two black, with the goal of introducing examples of high-end and every-day Chinese teas and how to look for quality in each. The samples are accompanied by a private link to a 30 minute video in the style of our Friday tea tastings where Zhuping explains what to look, smell, and taste for in each tea. It’s ideal for someone with a new interest in Chinese tea.
In the video, Zhuping will first tell you about the main differences in how high end and lower grade teas are produced and processed. Then she will guide you through brewing and tasting each of these teas side by side, providing tasting notes and pointing out differences as you go. You can follow along brewing your own tea as you watch.
