Overview
Many companies jump into the fun world of flavoring and blending teas themselves without really knowing the consequences of bringing these manufacturing processes in-house. The class material addresses important aspects of the operational concerns of applying these techniques within your company’s settings as we explore the three main techniques used today by tea professionals to scent, flavor, and blend teas and other botanicals. During each week’s hands-on learning, you will have the opportunity to taste some of the more famous teas, as well as hands-on assignments to develop your own skills at applying these techniques.

This course was very useful to me to understand what goes into formulating tea blends. It was fun to create my own breakfast blend of black teas. I thoroughly enjoyed blending various botanicals into tea and learning how to determine a formula between percentages and resulting grams. I feel more comfortable being able to create even more blends on my own for my own pleasure. I can turn my own kitchen into a tea science lab.
Loved being able to learn how to flavor and blend different ingredients into the teas.
I really enjoyed the class, the videos were very helpful in visualizing the cupping and blending instructions and were very well done. Thanks!
The addition of a class assessment at the end of week 3 for the class to show off their blends from the week.
Very fun class.
