TEA TASTER


Who is a tea taster? 

Tea taster is a professional job in the tea industry. Tea tasting is an art, but needs the support of science
 to upgrade it to a career in the modern tea industry.

The tea taster needs to have his or her taste buds alive to understand and differentiate the contents of taste giving alkaloids in the tea samples. In order to be a tea taster, he should sacrifice certain habits and abstain from smoking, alcohol, tasting strong 
spicy foods.



Traditional tea taster is based by experience.Tea Taster using a special spoon and sucks the tea with a sound. This slurping sound is caused by the tea being taken into the mouth at the exact speed of 125 miles per hour. At this speed, the tea explodes at the back of the palate and forming minute mist particles. These particles help the tea taster to tell a story about the tea in volumes. The tea is then expectorated into a pan and the tea taster turns to begin with another cup of tea. This video shows a professional tea tester testing some tea.
