Tea School Special Edition

Editorial

Nurturing curiosity Curiosity is like a muscle: the more you use it, the more it develops and grows stronger. The world of tea is an inexhaustible well of knowledge that offers more than enough to satisfy it. We experience this every day through contact with different planters, producers, cultures and traditions, from which we have already learned and will never stop learning. After all, there is no single path that leads to understanding.

We have taken one such path, patiently developing and continually enhancing our expertise on tea. We cannot help but be humbled by the infinite store of knowledge to be attained and want to share it.

Thanks to the path we have walked, we are now in a position to pass along our knowledge. You can only share what you know: that is what we believe and it is what we strive to teach at the Tea School.

Tea School Special Edition

Event: the Tea School turns tuıenty Since it was first founded in Paris in 1999, the Tea School has trained more than 15,000 people and expanded internationally.

This 20th anniversary is an opportunity to refocus on its mission and look back at its development over the years.

A FLAGSHIP MIS SION Since it was created by François-Xavier Delmas and Mathias Minet, the Tea School has reflected the original vocation of Palais des Thés itself, namely sharing the best of tea and the company’s passion for this age-old beverage with as many people as possible. In 30 years, through contact with farmers, planters and tea pluckers from around the world, Palais des Thés has patiently harvested a store of precious knowledge about tea. It is a very natural pleasure to share this invaluable heritage with our customers, and more generally with everyone who loves tea. We pass on our knowledge through classes that combine theory with tastings, giving everyone a chance to explore this gourmet beverage from both a sensory and flavour perspective.

LEAR NING TO TASTE While tasting may seem to be within easy reach for anyone, it is actually based on a precise mechanism—perhaps you have already had a similar experience with wine. Tasting

We first had the idea for the Tea School in 1999. Our shops were starting to get very popular, so we had less time to spend at the counter with each of our customers, and we thought a Tea School would be the perfect place to share what we had learned. After all, knowledge sharing has always been central to the mission of Palais des Thés. We developed an original teaching method, based on the experience of tasting and a sensory analysis of tea.

Tasting: learning uıith

all the senses Because the world’s best teas deserve a proper tasting, the Tea School’s role is to provide the right tools to anyone interested in taking full advantage of the experience. Tasting tea with all five senses is a basic structural tenet of the School’s classes, which guide students to rediscover the art of sensory perception.

TASTE Perceived by the tongue and its taste buds, taste tells us when something is sweet, salty, sour, bitter or umami*.

All of these tastes occur in tea except for salty, which is not naturally found in tea leaves. * Umami (“savoury taste” in Japanese) is relatively unknown in the West because it is uncommon in Western diets. It is widely used in Chinese and Japanese cuisine, however. This lingering, persistent taste can be found in certain fatty fishes (mackerel and sardines), soy sauces, cheese and meat, for example.

SMELL Taste combines with smell, the other sense that is probably the most intimately involved in tasting, to reveal the full aromatic complexity of the tea. Often, our first contact with a tea is when we breathe in its scent, which allows us to perceive only 10% of the scent molecules.

During retronasal olfaction (breathing out through the nose, including the air in the mouth), however, 100% of these molecules are smelled. As a result, our sense of smell allows us to perceive most of what we “taste”.

TOUCH Touch is responsible for perceiving textures in the mouth. The polyphenols present in tea create the effects of different textures, such as astringency or mellowness. This sense also perceives temperatures (hot and cold): the right

contracts to reduce discomfort and all attention is focused on that sensation, effectively muting the other senses.

HEARING The sense of hearing can provide

Created and implemented by Palais des Thés in 2016, the Tea Sommelier diploma recognises the expertise of our employees. While working at Palais des Thés is a prerequisite to taking the exam, there is no guarantee of passing it: only 50% of students succeed the first time, although all of them take a comprehensive practical and theoretical course. The diploma is a true mark of excellence and a requirement for teaching at the Tea School. Since it was created, 20 employees have earned the title of Tea Sommelier. Most of them work in shops helping customers or at the Tea School as teachers.

information that influences perception.

For example, you might hear a neighbour express a sensation and then try to perceive it yourself. This is why silence is essential while tasting. It allows everyone to immerse themselves fully in the moment and concentrate on SIGHT

their own sensations.

During a tasting, the first sense to be activated is sight, because it is involved when choosing a tea. It allows you to see what you will be tasting, observe the appearance of the leaves (dry and wet) and the brew, and begin to imagine tastes or flavours. It’s important to learn to avoid common pitfalls, since sight can sometimes feed into preconceived notions and influence or even trick our perceptions.

That’s why some tastings are done blind, that is, without knowing in advance which teas are being tasted.

Nepal: second flush Nepal’s second flush teas are in! This year, we are once again proud to bring you Grands Crus in every colour: black teas, green teas, Oolong, and even white teas. Nepal is a rich terroir, with producers as talented as they are innovative. Initially, almost everything Nepal produced was similar to the teas from Darjeeling.

The past 50 years have witnessed rapid diversification inspired by traditional manufacturing techniques from China and Taiwan. The results are not to be missed!

TEENJURE GREEN This Ilam Valley tea is produced by one of the country’s very first cooperatives, founded more than 25 years ago. Nearly 200 farmers banded together to produce a wide variety of fine teas. This particular variety is a superb harvest of green tea, with a mix of delicately twisted leaves and dainty silver tips. The intensely grassy opening of this Grand Cru blossoms into mineral and vanilla notes over a very creamy texture.

REF. 0836A19.

MAI POKHARI ANTIQUE OOLONG This Nepalese Oolong also comes from the Ilam Valley. The producer was inspired by the traditional Taiwanese method of manufacturing “antique” teas, meaning Oolong that have been intensely roasted multiple times. The result is an unusual, complex tea with strong toasted, fruity, and honeyed notes and a sweet vanilla closing. This rare and unique vintage is perfectly suited to the Gong Fu Cha method of preparation.

REF. 0834A19.

Please note: All the teas featured on these pages are Grands Crus harvested in very small quantities, available for a specific and limited time with no guarantee of future availability. Available until the batch has gone, these teas may suddenly go out of stock. Our selection of Grands Crus is constantly evolving and expanding as we discover new teas and gardens on our travels.
