Shlurp! The gentle Yorkshire art of tea tasting
AAAH...what better than a warming mug of tea to ward off winter's icy blasts? But who decides what goes into your favourite brew? And can you tell your Assam from your Earl Grey?
Watch our shlurp by shlurp guide to the art of tea tasting and blending with Taylor's of Harrogate.
There are 9,000 taste buds on the hunman tongue, reveals trainee tea buyer Suzannah Garraghan, and with your brain they can be taught to create a formidable tea recalling memory bank.
She says over 10 million cups of their Yorkshire Tea are supped every day, so getting the blend right all those years ago was vital.
So how do you tell your Earl Grey from a China White Leaf? Or Darjeeling from an Oolong?
Grab a big spoon and step this way for a shlurpingly good guide to tasting tea like an expert.
