Tea Tasting

Tea tasting is a skill

Tea tasting? If you’ve been drinking tea all your life,  you will be surprised to know that tea tasting is an art. Yes, tea tasting is a skill and we will teach you how to pick the best quality teas.

Tea and wine have a lot in common. But while wine tasting is well developed – especially in the Western Cape wine route – tea tasting is not well known. Yes, tea tasting is a skill. People even take courses to learn how to recognise the key flavour notes and identify different tea blends.

Like wine, chocolate or coffee, tea is a product of its environment: the soils, rain and how the tea is grown, taken care of, harvested and processed. These variables make each tea unique and give it body, character and aroma.

When tasting tea, you look for four key features: appearance, aroma, flavour and mouth feel.  At the Magwa Tea Estate – after a tour of our lush estates – you will learn about tea tasting.  You may not become an expert in a day, but you will begin your journey of appreciating good tea, such as the ones we produce from our estates.
