Saturday - Noon - Professional Tea Cupping 101 Ever wonder what a professional tea cupper does? Have you ever really tasted your tea or do you simply drink it? In this guided session you will learn the steps to evaluate teas, just like a tea professional. Our instructor, DonnaLee Yeatts, will guide you through the process of a professional tea cupping where you will use most of your senses (sight, touch, smell, and taste) to evaluate the tea leaves (both in the dried form and after they have steeped), the brewed liquor and the taste. We will compare, contrast and evaluate two unique oolong teas. Then, you will be able to apply your newfound skills to begin the art and science of tea journaling as DonnaLee will provide hints, tips, and suggestions on journaling your tea tasting experiences. We are pleased to welcome DonnaLee Yeatts, certified tea specialist from the World Tea Academy, presenting at the tea festival this year.
