Dear Mr. Leo Kwan,
I am a relatively newcomer in the magnificent world of tea that intends to get more serious about it. Actually, I want to take some courses about tea tasting and there are few people’s opinions that I can trust as much as yours. Do you have any suggestions about Courses or Institutes that provide certification about tea tasting? In my research I came across this http://www.nitm.in/tea_tasting.html . Do you have any information regarding this Institute?
Thank you in advance for your time and response,
Anastasia

Hello Anatasia,
Most tea courses have their own restrictions and the hidden agendas. A person who is trained through one of these would normally be influenced by this and would see the nature of tea in a certain angle. The way round it is to learn from as many different perspectives and schools of approaches as possible.
I also hope you understand that there are “tea professionals” who think that their understanding of tea is absolute. Many of them are not even aware of this absolutism mentality.
For a person who can maintain an open mind and an open heart, there certainly is no school you cannot learn something from. I honestly cannot recommend the school you quoted but I have heard that it is quite organized.
I am sorry I have not been more concrete, but I am certainly very delighted to know there is such a willing young soul to enter the wonderful world of tea, and taking it so seriously. Do update me here.
