Wheel of flavor
Here’s a fun exercise to add to your tea time soon. As you sip, take a look at the tea flavor wheel below and see if you find what you are tasting. Are there any flavors not present on the wheel that are on your tongue? We were sipping some of our Sanctuary 2022 ripe tea from which we definitely get some mushroomy notes. We would definitely add that flavor to the wheel somewhere in the earth/mineral section.
Have fun with the flavor wheel and impress your friends with all the flavors you can name in the teas you taste. Enjoy!
