Have you ever had the experience of having trouble describing the flavor of the tea you are drinking? If yes, Chatime Tea Taster’s Flavor Wheel is here to the rescue!  Chatime Tea Flavor Wheel is designed for tea professionals to precisely communicate with global tea lovers through 258-word lexicon despite of the culture differences and subjective preferences.

The concept of flavor wheel was originally appeared in 1979 for flavor analysis in beer industry. Nowadays, flavor wheel can be commonly seen in different industries including wine, coffee, chocolate, and soy sauce etc. It is considered as a tool for industry professionals to express their impression toward a specific product without sampling.

Now let’s have a deeper look into the Chatime Tea Flavor Wheel! Always begins from the center of the wheel, which is where all the general taste & aroma categories are: floral, sweet, fruity, roasted, nutty, vegetative, and other. As the tier goes outward, the taste & aroma will be refined, and the descriptors will become more and more specific. Through Chatime Tea Flavor Wheel, customers will be able to understand the value of each Chatime specialty tea and locate the one that they love the most!
