Tea Class (English): Oolong Tea Evaluation Standards
When we drink oolong tea, we often say:
“This one is very aromatic.”
“This one is smooth.”
“This one has a nice aftertaste.”
But when several different oolong teas are placed side by side, can you actually taste what makes each one different?
In this class, we’ll explore the flavor structure and distinctive characteristics of oolong tea through guided tasting and comparison.
Our instructor will introduce a more systematic and practical way to evaluate tea—from the appearance of the dry leaves and aroma to liquor color, flavor, body, sweetness, mouthfeel, returning sweetness, and lingering finish.
You may begin to notice that aroma has layers, flavor has structure, and even “tastes good” can be understood in a much more specific way.
Think of it as a little workout for your palate.
No previous tea knowledge is required, and there’s no need to memorize complicated terminology. We’ll simply taste, compare, and explore together. Through several different teas, you’ll gradually learn how to recognize what you’re tasting and build your own understanding of oolong tea.
