So, I have a few friends who are really interested in seeing what I know and what they can learn about more "advanced" tea "arts." This really means that they want to get to know more about tea and its preparation.
I have my own tastes, but I was hoping that I could get some feedback from the tea lovers here about what a good selection of tea might be to get them started. I am arranging a get together where we can all do some tea tasting. Does anyone here have some recommendations on some teas to go for? I am leaning towards a Chinese/Oriental style preparation, and so I think I will likely go with traditional Chinese style teas, rather than doing a European style presentation.
Teas on my list right now are Puer, some classic Greens (probably just one good one), a decent white tea, and maybe one other "strong" tea.
Suggestions?
