1. Meet a tea
Open the Tea Atlas and choose a name or leaf shape that interests you. Read the description as a set of observations, not an authenticity test.
2. Make a measured cup
Use a kitchen scale if you have one. Start with the recipe in the profile, or use the Brewing Calculator. Pour the liquor off the leaves before tasting.
3. Notice one difference
Describe aroma, body and aftertaste in your own words. Change just one brewing variable next time. Use Tea Compare to explore a second tea.
