by Budwhite Tea Drink your way to health
Tea tasting parties are held mostly in Asian countries, especially China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia and Indonesia. Tea tasting events in India is quite different from those held in other parts of the world.

Every tea tasting party involves a number of criteria to make it a successful one. Discussed below are a few important aspects to be noted during a tea tasting party or event.

Choosing the tea varieties

It will be great and daring if there are some new varieties of tea as the guests will be really happy and thrilled to explore new flavors. Offering teas from different regions will make the party more interesting and keep the guests involved.  Buying a variety of new teas from online sources is a good idea to please the taste buds of the invitees. You can visit an online store that is dedicated to selling tea. Browse through the varieties, have an online chat with the customer support team to learn their suggestions and order a few samples.
 
Read a lot about the varied types of tea. There is enormous information available online about different tea varieties as many people have devoted their time to writing about tea and its benefits.
 
In a tea tasting event, you should include at least six tea varieties for tasting. Remember to use tea leaves and not tea bags to get the best impact and taste. Six different teas is usually the norm for tea tasting parties. You can also end up with four or eight depending on the number of guests and amount of time available. Similar to a wine tasting party, the key idea is to enjoy every sip and appreciate the tea; therefore, if you want to provide your guests with sufficient tea to savor, there should be adequate gastronomical room to go with each flavor.
 
Presenting tea at tea tasting events

Teas are usually served in a container, normally a teapot or rather a thermal drink container. Other ideas include lidded mugs, tea leaves on small plates along with bowls of tea, and the like.
 
It is important to clearly label every tea and provide some background information like the name of the variety, where it is manufactured, its health benefits, and so on.
 
It will be loads of fun and knowledge to have a discussion on the health properties, historical aspects of interest and other fun facts to make the event much more enjoyable.

Choosing cutlery
 
Use the best cutlery possible. High quality teacups or fine bone china are ideal. You can also get an eclectic set of beautiful teacups from a thrift store to save money. Buying old model tea cups from such stores will make it a great vintage tea party. Important items you will need are teapots, teacups, tea strainers, teaspoons, heatproof glasses, sugar pots, milk jugs and dainty dessert plates.
 
Tea tasting events in India are in the trends recently and using the above mentioned aspects, you can organize a great tea tasting party for your friends and colleagues once in a while.
