Global Tea Championship judges
The overall good quality of entered selections, but lack of exceptional teas.
The appearance of blending challenges, such as use of whole-sized ingredients with smaller tea leaf. Harmonizing on density of each ingredient is critical for consistent flavor profile.
The positive direction of higher-quality teas and ingredients being used in the single serve bagged category.
