Sorry for no recent posts — have been house-hunting in the Boston area this past week, and haven’t had a chance to think about flavors or aromas, but…
…when I got back home the scents for our World Tea Expo talk were at my door. What a feast for my nose!
There is one in particular, benzyl alcohol — one of the jasmine scents that are in oolong teas: it strikes me that it may smell different to different people. It is clearly a warm scent, and contributes to oolong’s activation of the warm receptors.
The same goes for nerolidol — hardly smells like what you would think (at least to me), but is critical to the quality of oolongs.
Can’t wait to hear what the people at our World Tea Expo session will say!
