An invitation to cup tea with one our professional tea tasters would certainly be the best way to introduce you to the vast array of colors that the world’s teas can display in the cup. The intensity and nuances of color that a tea produces give insight into its place of origin, the season of its plucking and its intrinsic character. A huge spectrum awaits you: deep browns, warm oranges, fruity reds, mellow yellows, vivid fresh greens and all the possibilities in between. Although it may seem impossible to express such a splendid variety of color in words, we have given it our best shot. Why? Because the cup color of a freshly brewed tea is a key quality criterion, revealing the very essence of the leaf.
