He Got Tea Drunk & Had to Quit… (Part 2)

What does it really take to select teas for Mei Leaf? In this behind-the-scenes series, I take my friend Sam through the exact tasting process I use to evaluate teas — from setup, to speed tasting, to decision-making under pressure. We taste over 20 teas in under an hour. This is not a calm, meditative tea session… this is rapid-fire sensory analysis. In Part 1, Sam learns how I approach tasting — how I assess aroma, texture, structure, and energy in seconds.    • Inside My Tea Selection Process… Sam asked...   In Part 2… things escalate. Too much tea. Too fast. And Sam discovers the very real phenomenon of being tea drunk. This is the reality behind sourcing — intense, focused, and sometimes overwhelming. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Join our NOTIFICATION SQUAD: https://meileaf.com/subscribe Shop online: https://meileaf.com/ Clothing and other merch: https://merch.meileaf.com SECOND CHANNEL - my personal tasting journey YouTube:    / @diaryofataster   Instagram:   / diaryofataster   TikTok:   / diary.of.a.taster   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Join us on Instagram   / mei_leaf     / mei.leaf.teahouse   Write some friendly graffiti on our Facebook wall   / meileaf
