Mint Tea Tasting Focuses on Four Characteristics

1. the appearance, 
2. the aroma, 
3. the flavor 
4. mouthfeel

Appearance of Mint Tea

The appearance of Mint Tea ingredients determines the quality of Tea leaves and Mint, especially in the following aspects:

• Shape - what do the leaves look like? Small? Big?
• Color - if the colors are different, it is a mixture
• Texture – is it ground like dust? Is it crumbly? Or slimy?
• Buds - can you see any?

In summary, here are the main signs of a good Mint Tea:

• The presence of bronze spots on the tea (green, white or black) means the presence of buds and therefore a better quality harvest.
• The tea and mint leaves crunch between your fingers. This shows that it has not absorbed any moisture. 
• The bright shine of the Tea and Mint leaves indicates its freshness.
• A darker infusion shows that the Mint Tea has a fuller flavor while a sedimentary appearance means that the tea is of poor quality. 
• Small fragments floating at the bottom of the glass are a sign of a good Mint Tea

Mint Tea Aroma

There are two techniques for smelling the aroma of Mint Tea:

• Deep Inhalation – Hold the glass of Mint Tea as close to your nose as possible and inhale deeply.
• Rapid Inhalation – Take rapid, shallow inhalations through your nose, much like a dog panting.

Mint Tea Flavor

Each flavor is perceived more intensely by a particular area of ​​the tongue. Sweet notes are perceived at the tip of the tongue. Bitterness is perceived on the back of the tongue. Saltiness on the front sides of the tongue and sourness on the back sides of the tongue. Finally, umami - the flavor defining the savory character of a drink - does not have a specific area.
Taking a sip of Mint Tea into your mouth, you will enjoy its taste, the intensity of its aromas and its flavor with one or the other of the following techniques:

• Moisten the Mint Tea : Hold the Mint Tea in your mouth, purse your lips and draw a little air above the Mint Tea, using your tongue.
• Stirring the Mint Tea : Hold the Mint Tea in your mouth and stir it slowly, as if you were making a mouthwash.

The mouthfeel of Mint Tea

In the mouth, different sensations are observed depending on the Mint Tea recipes.

Some Mint Teas can be smooth while others can be crisp. It is then important to distinguish the finish from the length of a Mint Tea -  called intense aromatic persistence, the length is the time in seconds, during which the aroma persists in the mouth. 

The longer the finish, the better the Mint Tea…

Aftertastes can be more pleasant than the normal taste of tea, as they linger in the mouth for a long time even after sipping the Mint Tea.
