In this guided tasting experience, you will explore the remarkable diversity of green tea through a curated selection of teas from around the world. If you’ve previously attended our black tea tasting, this session builds on those foundations, offering a different perspective on how processing shapes flavour in the cup.
You will begin with a brief refresher on tea terroir, then move into the key differences that define green tea. We’ll explore how techniques such as steaming and pan-firing preserve the leaf’s freshness, resulting in a very different expression of origin, texture, and aroma.
During the tasting, you will work through a range of high-quality green teas sourced from different regions. Each tea has been selected to highlight a distinct style—from bright and vegetal to soft, nutty, or savoury. Compared to black tea, these profiles are often more subtle, inviting a slower, more attentive way of tasting.
As you taste, you will continue developing your sensory skills using a professional tasting approach. We’ll revisit the flavour wheel and build on it, helping you refine your palate and notice more delicate flavour distinctions.
This is a hands-on tasting designed to deepen your understanding of tea. You don’t need prior experience, but for those who have attended earlier sessions, this class offers a natural next step—expanding how you taste, compare, and appreciate tea.
