Yesterday's Tea Tasting was a fun event - a small group of people, quite intense about tea! Here are comments from the session:
What did you like most about this session?
- Choice of teas, welcoming environment.
- Learned a lot about tea in a short period of time.
- Personal touch; presentation; choice of teas.
- All the information provided and the staff - they were great.
- I liked amount of information, teas & sandwiches; in other words, I liked it all!
- I found this an eye opener to tea.
For the past 4 sessions, we've asked whether an open-house event where customers can walk around, taste various teas without a formal presentation and question/answer period would be preferred. The answer is a resounding NO. I'm going to be teaching a class on How to Conduct a Successful Tea Tasting at the World Tea Expo on May 31, at Las Vegas and this feedback will be very helpful there.
Surprise of the evening:
Caffeine reduction tip - Steep for 30 seconds, discard and re-steep.
Winner of the evening:
Silver Needle Jasmine, hands down.
Thanks to our customers for attending and our crew for making it successful.
I am so happy to see that my favorite jasmine tea is back. Just the right balance of smoothness and tastiness has enabled it to be well-received by all to whom I have served it, whether casual or serious tea drinkers.
I only wish there were an organic option. Regardless, I love this tea!
So glad you are enjoying this tea again, Paul. Right now, we are not going to change the blend but I will definitely keep your request in mind. The organic option adds costs and we will wait until the tariff situation is straightened out before we introduce blends that require Teas from China.
An absolutely wonderful daily drinker. No astringency, and the subtle hint of jasmine is wonderful!
