OVERVIEW

The North American Tea Championship is an independent competition, judged by professional cuppers to distinguish the highest quality and best-tasting teas commercially available in the North American marketplace.

The Tea Championship is made up of two classes: Hot Tea and Iced Tea. The Hot Tea Class is evaluated twice a year: July for spring teas and February for fall teas. The Iced Tea Class is evaluated once a year in May.

Winners of the Tea Championship are announced after each respective evaluation. Winning companies receive a formal announcement letter that includes the tea’s rating and ranking as well as a print-ready seal that can be used for promotional materials and packaging.

Winning companies also have an opportunity to showcase their teas at the annual World Tea Expo, the premier trade event for the industry, in the North American Tea Championship Tasting Winners’ Circle if exhibiting at the Expo.

MEtHodology

n Hot tea ClassHot Tea Class categories include Signature Famous Teas in the U.S. as well as general categories that enable lesser-known teas to be highlighted and distinguished in the marketplace.

Spring harvested teas as well as herbal tisanes and blends are evaluated in July and fall harvested teas as well as Rooibos blends are evaluated in February.

Each submission into the class is evaluated blind and through organoleptic analysis of the following characteristics: dry leaf, brewed color, brewed aroma, brewed flavor, brewed mouth-feel and brewed harmony. An overall numerical value on a 100-point scale is then calculated based on the ratings of each characteristic above. First, second and third place winning teas are determined by rank.

n ICed tea ClassThe Iced Tea Class is divided into categories according to its market application and sales channels: Foodservice and Ready-to-Drink iced teas. Each category is then separated into sub-categories to represent popular products currently being sold in the marketplace.

The Iced Tea Class is evaluated once a year in May. The evaluation panel consists of retail buyers and restaurateurs in the respective categories.

Each submission into the class is evaluated blind and through organoleptic analysis of the following characteristics: flavor, body, color, clarity, and balance. An overall numerical value on a 100-point scale is then calculated based on the ratings of each characteristic above. First, second and third place winning teas are determined by rank.

World tEA rAtINg™

The following guidelines can be used to interpret the resulting ratings:

96-100 RARE: unique tea, difficult to replicate in future manufacturing processes

90-95 OUTSTANDING: a distinctive tea with brilliant style

80-89 VERY GOOD: a tea with superior characteristics

70-79 ABOVE AVERAGE: a tea with particularly desirable qualities

60-69 MEDIOCRE: a good tea, typical for its category

50-59 POOR: not recommended

Liquor is bright and clear, deeply colored amber with a full-bodied, rich, smooth, malty flavor, hints of sweetness and robust, yet pleasant astringency.

BAI HAO/ORIENTAL BEAUTY: Moderately to heavily oxidized oolong from Taiwan, presenting an open, curly leaf style of many colors (brown, gold, blue, white tips). Liquor should be deep, clear golden hue with no brownness or excessive particulate from baking. Very aromatic leaf and liquor, with distinctive ripe stone fruit and floral notes. Lush and sweet mouthfeel, with a refined and delicate astringency (refreshing, not dry), honeyed fruit flavors and very lingering aroma.

BREAKfAST BLEND: Black tea blend of any variety and origin astringent enough to add milk and sugar, but balanced enough to drink straight. Appearance of the dry leaf depends on the blend. Leaves should be well-twisted and include some tip. Wet leaf is brown, copper with a toasty to citrusy aroma. Liquor is bright and clear with rich, reddish-brown hues and a medium to full bodied, mouth-feel that is balanced, brisk and astringent with a tangy high note.

CEYLON: Black leaf tea from Sri Lanka. Dry leaf is variable, possibly including silver tips. Nose of dry leaf is mildly malty to citrusy with hints of biscuit. Wet leaf is olive to copper in color with a citrus, woody, even chocolate aroma. Liquor is brilliantly clear and bright honey color with brisk astringency and tangy, fresh flavors.

CHAI: Masala chai, a black tea with varying admixture of spices depending on region. Tea should be full and astringent enough to accept a heavy dilution of milk without losing its flavor profile. Appearance of leaf varies, but the nose is spicy with typical hints of cardamom, cinnamon, pepper and cloves; ideally, none is predominant. Wet leaf is coppery, bright and enticing with herbs and spices. Liquor is reddish in color and medium-bodied, with balanced flavor between spices and the tea base.

DARjEELING: Black tea from Darjeeling, India. Dry leaf is mixed brown, black and green leaf that may include silver tips. Nose of dry leaf is mildly floral, delicate and grassy.

aroma. Liquor is clear, vibrant and jade yellow in color with light hints of fruitiness and gentle, mellow plant notes. Liquor is light-bodied, buttery, smooth and slightly astringent with hints of peas and sweet-corn with the husk, and a nutty finish.

EARL GREY: Black tea of any variety and origin blended with bergamot citrus flavoring, oil or dried bergamot peel. Appearance of dry leaf depends on the blend. Bergamot oil is the predominant aroma with a fresh, pleasant citrus aroma on the wet leaves. Liquor is bright yellow to red, clear, slightly spicy and well balanced between the flavor of the tea base and the bergamot.

jASMINE: Green tea from China or Taiwan traditionally jasmine scented without added flavoring, herbs or other agents. Dry leaf is variable. Nose of dry leaf is jasmine and mellow grassiness. Wet leaf also has a predominant natural jasmine aroma, but is balanced with the vegetal green tea base. Liquor is bright and clear, light-bodied and silvery yellow to golden green in color. Liquor is balanced, floral, sweet, grassy and slightly astringent.

KEEMUN: Black tea from Qi Men, Anhui Province, China. Dry leaf is small, black and neatly twisted leaves that possibly contain gold tips.

Liquor is smooth, medium- to full-bodied, well-rounded with a soft astringency and floral with hints of toasted nuts and forest floor woodiness.

MATCHA: Ceremonial Japanese green tea manufactured from stone-ground tencha leaves. Color of tea powder is brilliant green, with a noticeably sweet, fresh aroma. There shouldn’t be any shades of yellow or brown, which indicate stale, oxidized tea. The froth from the freshest, properly stored tea will be thick and creamy, with a brilliant green color. The taste is mild and vegetal sweet with no notes of raw astringency.

SENCHA: Green tea grown and processed in Japan. Dry leaf is flat, deep green with shiny, polished, needles. Nose of dry leaf is mildly grassy and sweet. Wet leaf is thick and deep, rich and green in color with a fresh, vegetal, ocean aroma. Liquor is bright green with little, if any, hints of yellow. The liquor is often not clear but may have solids in suspension that add to its flavor. Liquor is fresh, rich, medium- to full-bodied, with grassy and briny oceanic notes.

YUNNAN: Black tea from the Yunnan Province, China. Dry leaf is neatly twisted black, brown leaves that possibly contain gold tips. Nose of the dry leaf is likened to damp, autumn leaves. Wet leaf is plump, coppery and uniform with an earthy aroma that hints of vanilla and resin. Liquor is golden brown with a reddish tint and a round body with a complex flavor profile of honey, resin, a gentle peppery (zesty, not hot) spice and floral notes.
