MASTER BLENDER TASTING NOTES
Unlike the traditional green tea, black tea is not fermented – it is oxidized. In this process, the most critical component in order to create an even and complete oxidation of the “made tea” is the “juice” trapped naturally inside the leaf structure.
For best general results, a tea picker needs to use either a budset or a fine pluck, the premium pickings from the new growth on the bush. A coarse pluck will contain less moisture but will have a harder outside layer; therefore, more time and careful supervision may be required for it to wither successfully.
Accordingly, one of the most important factors in the creation of quality tealeaves is in the uniformity of the leaf that has been plucked. When a pluck is picked uniformly, it does not require sorting and thus skips another handling to the leaf. At T, we use only leaves that have been finely plucked.
