Judging Criteria 🧐
The criteria for the Best Tea Leaves Award are meticulously crafted to cater to the distinctiveness of each category, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation that respects the diversity and richness of tea varieties. Our esteemed panel evaluates submissions across several dimensions, tailored to highlight the unique attributes and qualities of each tea.
These judging criteria include:
- Leaf Quality: Assessment focuses on the appearance and condition of the dry tea leaves, considering factors like color, shape, uniformity, and the absence of damage or impurities, to gauge the tea’s overall quality and handling.
- Aroma: We delve into the tea’s aromatic profile both before and after brewing, appreciating the complexity and richness of fragrances that signify the tea’s freshness, processing quality, and character.
- Flavor and Taste: This crucial aspect evaluates the tea’s taste complexity, balance, and aftertaste. Judges look for a harmonious blend of flavors that unfolds progressively, offering a memorable tasting experience.
- Infusion Quality: The color and clarity of the tea infusion, alongside the condition of the leaves post-brewing, offer insights into the tea’s quality, processing, and age.
Mouthfeel: The body and texture of the tea as it is experienced in the mouth are scrutinized to assess the tea’s fullness, smoothness, and any unique textural characteristics that enhance the drinking experience.
Uniqueness and Authenticity: Special attention is given to teas that exhibit distinctive qualities or exemplary authenticity, showcasing originality or a true representation of their type and origin.
Sustainability and Ethical Practices: Recognizing the importance of responsible production, teas are evaluated for sustainable and ethical practices, including environmental stewardship and fairness in trade relations.
