It is not easy to
convey exactly what you think about “the taste” to others, but at the same
time, it is fun to share what you think about it with others.
Today, I joined a
wakocha (Japanese black tea) sampling session to share our thoughts. A tea
farmer brought four kinds of his black tea. Together with him, eight other
tea-lovers tasted his tea and made a frank comment. As you may know, tea-lovers
talk a lot, right?? Some comments might have been harsh on him, but he always
says he would like to know frank opinion from consumers in order to improve the
quality of tea.
Like him, more Japanese tea farmers produce black tea earnestly.
To be honest, Wakocha wasn't refined enough before, but I am sure more tea has been improved a lot.
