Tea sommelier ceremony

The tea sommelier ceremony refers to the expert service in which a specialist guides the guest through a menu of crus, advising on infusion and food-tea pairing. Each tea steeps at its own temperature and duration, from delicate green around seventy degrees to black held at simmering water. The sommelier comments on terroir, harvest and processing method, extending the meal with a reasoned tasting that treats tea with the seriousness reserved for wine.
