KENYA · GUIDE 0686 · EDITION 4.2
Tea tasting workshops in Kenya
Run a tea tasting comparing traceable teas and preparation choices.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional sample booking: a 60-minute tea tasting for six adults comparing three clearly labelled packaged teas: plain black tea, green tea and an unflavoured second black tea from a different declared source. Supply three individual approximately 50 ml portions per participant, a simple comparison sheet and the package identities at the end. Source packets from traceable sellers and use their actual brew directions. The session does not certify origin, grade tea professionally or make medicinal claims. Milk, sweeteners and food pairings are excluded from the base comparison.
Who is the first customer?
