Description
This class introduces you to the organoleptic principles, and their underlying biology and chemistry, that allow you to create delicious blends of teas and other botanical infusions with herbs, spices, and fruits. In the process of creating these different blends you will experience and understand why certain combinations succeed while others fail, thus preparing you to create your own blends from scratch. You will use your knowledge and experiences to develop a vocabulary for describing the best blends, and then create, name, describe, and critique your own blend.
In this course, you will use your knowledge of your flavor system, coupled with an understanding of the chemistry of teas, herbs, spices, fruits, and flowers, to create delicious blends and explore how blends can fit into lifestyles and life experiences.
