Quality

In evaluating the quality of tea, our tea experts give consideration to the variety of tea, the region where the tea was grown, the stage of picking of the leaves and the tea manufacturing process.

Two further tests help in determining the quality and the taste of the tea brew and these are:

The Scientific Test:
A critical assessment of the quality of the tea by chemical and physical means such as an analysis of the chemical composition of the tea and other tests.

The Sensory Test:
Classification of the quality of the tea by way of the senses – the taste, smell, the physical feel of the leaves to the touch, and the appearance of the tea which includes the shape, size and color of the leaves. This sensory test is a subjective evaluation of the quality of the tea and is the result of the knowledge and experience of our expert tea tasters.
