With
the explosive growth of the specialty tea industry
in North America, there is great interest in enhancing
one's knowledge about various tea types. A wonderful
way to learn is by experiencing the unique tastes
of different teas through a course such as Tea
Mastery for New Tea Drinkers, developed by Royal
Dynasty Tea. Much like a wine lover would never
confuse a Syrah with a Petite Sirah, a tea connoisseur
has a keen taste for the particulars of an oolong
versus a typical white tea. With more than 3,000
varieties of tea to choose from, this course will
expand participants' knowledge and experience
by giving them the opportunity to taste-test and
evaluate three different loose-leaf teas in twelve
different classifications—thirty-six teas
in all.
In
each of the twelve separate lessons, the class
will taste-test three different teas (1/2 oz.
each yielding six 6-oz. cups) and discuss the
history and background of each tea. They will
also receive preparation instructions and recommended
tea-tasting protocol evaluation forms. Class topics
include Japanese Green Teas, Chinese Green Teas,
Green Teas From Other Countries, Oolong Teas,
English Black Teas, Chinese Black Teas, Indian
Black Teas, Black Teas From Other Countries, White
Teas, South African Teas, Flavored Teas and Herbal
Teas/Tisanes. Course registrants will receive
the thirty-page Tea Mastery Manual, which includes:
Preparation of New Teapots, Arrange Your Utensils,
Gongfu – The Way of Tea, Steps for Serving
Gongfu, Taste-Testing Protocol, Tea Evaluation
Form, Caffeine Consumption and Health Benefits
of Tea.
Registrants
may participate individually or form small groups
of up to six friends. Everyone completing the
course will receive a Certificate of Completion.
In addition, they will be sent a special “Mystery
Tea” and asked to evaluate and identify
it based on their new-found knowledge and experience
after completing the course.
Tuition for the Tea Mastery for New Tea Drinkers
Course is $195. More information and secure online
