September Tastings
5th: Whites, Silver Needle and Shou Mei. We start September with two fresh 2008 teas. White teas have received a lot of attention recently due to their health benefits. We will discuss those benefits and talk about what makes white tea white.
12th: No tasting due to the Grand Opening the next day.
19th: Rock Oolongs, Bai Ji Guan (White Rooster Crest) and Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe). These are two of the four most famous rock oolongs and with good reason, as they are two of the most complex and distinctive teas in China. As with the first two rock oolongs we tasted, we will be tasting these using the Taiwanese fragrance and drink cups.
26th: Greens, Imperial Mao Feng and Meng Ding Mao Feng. To end September we will try two different kinds of Mao Feng. With this we will explore the concept of terroir, how the soil, environment and climate of the region in which a tea is produced effects the overall character of a tea.
