TeaSmith MasterClass Tasting Notes

White Tea - Snow Jewel (Fujian, China)
Rare hand-picked buds from a wild cultivar of the Dai Bai (white tea) plant. Delicate palate, and subtle fresh aroma with a lingering sweet aftertaste of white fruits.

Korean Green Tea - Sparrow's Tongue (Korea)
Outstanding green tea combining the malty taste of a Chinese pan-fired green tea, with intense fresh, grassy notes of Japanese tea plant cultivars.

Oolong Tea (Floral style)- Teguanyin Supreme (Anxi, China)
Rolled, lightly-oxidised (green oolong style) leaves. Superb orchid aroma and smooth silky texture from authentic high-grown plants. Extended sweet aftertaste. Ultimate afternoon treat.

Oolong Tea (Floral/Fruity style)- Phoenix Supreme (Guandong, China)
Hand-twisted and expertly fired leaves descended from famous tea trees over 500 years old. Intense aroma of ripe fruit, tangy on the palate, with an exceptionally long and sweet aftertaste.

Oolong Tea (Roasted style) - Wuyi Supreme 'Big Red Robe' (Wuyi, China)
Twisted, charcoal fired leaves from a direct propagation of the 500 year-old ‘Red Robe’ plant itself. Warm floral aroma with a hint of charcoal. Full-bodied taste with a rich and complex aftertaste. Exceptional digestive.

Darjeeling - Second Flush (Goomtee Estate)
In our opinion the second flush provides the ideal combination of fuller taste while maintaining the signature Darjeeling aroma.

Puer Tea - Extra Old Tippy Puer (Yunnan, China)
Hand-picked tippy leaves undergo secondary fermentation and careful ageing. Rich earthy and woody fragrance with a complex smooth taste. The ultimate digestive.
