OVERVIEW

In the final online class for our core curriculum, we extend our knowledge of tea to an overview of the many botanical infusions other than Camellia sinensis. Our focus will be on the most popular herbals in the market such as Rooibos, Yerba Mate, Guayusa, and more. The first week includes an exploration of humankind’s long relationship to botanical infusions as well as an in-depth explanation of the correct vocabulary for what (technically) is and isn’t ‘tea.’ Sensory evaluations of several herbal infusions conclude the class. You will be tested on the contents of our Core.06 class. This class is ONLY a test and assumes you know the contents of the full class. Please Note: WTA Test-Only Courses do not provide any learning materials.
