So. I spent the last few hours watching videos about tea tasting. Twining’s has a youtube channel where the host, a British guy with surprisingly straight teeth, explains how the tea in made and goes into different steeping traditions, etc. Anyways! I thought he was just sloppy with how he was slurping up the tea. He slurped the tea like he was on crack! Turns out that is the way it is supposed to be done. Slurping the tea so that it becomes more aerated and the flavors can be better appreciated over the tongue. I just brewed myself some of my mango green from my adagio green sampler packet, and I must say that I can taste the difference.
Yes, this tea is very light in flavor.. both for the green tea and the mango, but I can definitely taste the subtle fruitiness that lingers afterwards. Very refreshing, probably would be a nice summer drink over ice. It’s already hit over 100 degrees here in Las Vegas so I am going to have to take a break from the hots teas soon..
