2009 WOrLD TEA cHAmPIONsHIP
Welcome!
In its second year, the World Tea Championship attracted 41 leading suppliers that
entered nearly 300 different specialty teas for evaluation. Entrants included market
leaders, as well as rising stars and notable newcomers that are collectively bound to
take our industry by storm.
Within this edition of the World Tea Buyers Guide, a product of the World Tea
Championship, you will find an overview of the competition, the categories for each
classhot and iced teascategory definitions and a listing of all the entrants.
All entrants deserve special recognition by our industry. Submitting products for a
competition (and a young one at that) takes guts and fortitude. These companies
stand behind their products, their quality and their service in an environment where it
is increasingly difficult for buyers and consumers to distinguish quality tea from mere
marketing. Because they trusted a third party to validate their product quality through
blind, organoleptic analysis, these entrants establish themselves as leading reliable
sources of specialty tea. We are lucky to have them driving and serving our industry.
I also want to congratulate and recognize our judges. Their seasoned palates,
extensive experience, passion and patience fuel and shape this competition as it
evolves into an event that elevates the awareness of specialty tea and provides clarity
to the consumersomething we all need.
All hot tea judgesprofessional tea tasters and buyers with over a century of tea
tasting experience among themwere flown to Las Vegas three days before the
World Tea Expo. They spent two full days cupping submissions. This doesnt count
the months of preparation judges spent defining class categories, methodology and
cupping standards. Thank you.
Iced tea class judgesretailers and foodservice professionalsevaluated
submissions the first day of the Expo before the show floor opened. Iced teas were
a bit easier to evaluate and took little preparation other than coding glasses into
which we poured the tea; nevertheless, tasting product while thinking through each
characteristics quality is difficult and time consuming. Luckily, it is also enlightening
for the evaluators.
Collectively, all participants of the World Tea Championship are shaping an industry.
This Buyers Guide sheds some light on the process, but more importantly, it clarifies
many tea definitions and the taste characteristics one should expect from a tea
bearing a particular name.
We aim, like the U.S. wine industry did thirty years ago, to educate tea buyers and
further increase awareness of the category.
So congratulations to all participants of the World Tea Championship and users of this
Guide. You are making history.
Warm regards,
Kim Jage

2009 WOrLD TEA cHAmPIONsHIP
OVErVIEWThe World Tea Championship(WTC) is an independentcompetition, judged by professional cuppers and major retailbuyers of tea, to distinguish the highest quality and best tastingteas commercially available in the North American marketplace.The event was open to exhibitors and sponsors of the 2009 WorldTea Expo.
The WTC is made up of two classes: Hot Tea and Iced Tea. Eachclass consists of its own categories and judging panel. The HotTea class was evaluated April 30 and May 1, 2009. The Iced Teaclass was evaluated the morning of May 2, 2009 prior to theopening of the World Tea Expo. All submissions were evaluatedblind and through organoleptic analysis.
The highest quality and best tasting teas from each categorywere awarded 1st, 2nd and 3rd place positions. Awards for bothclasses were distributed and honored the evening of May 2, 2009at the World Tea Expo, held May 2May 4, 2009, at the MandalayBay Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada.
mETHODOLOGy
nHOT TEA CLASSHot Tea Class categories include Signature Famous Teas in theU.S. as well as general categories that enable lesser known teasto be highlighted and distinguished in the marketplace.
Entrants determined which categories(definitions follow) they wanted tosubmit teas into and submitted thosesamples to our offices the week
of April 24, 2009. We then codedthe samples on the packaging toconceal the identity of the submittingcompany and grouped each by enteredcategory in tight storage.
Hot Tea Class Judges were flown toLas Vegas April 29, 2009 and for the
following two full days evaluated submissions. Strict standardswere placed on the judging/ cupping processes and two outsidecoordinators ensured those standards were met.
nICED TEA CLASS
The Iced Tea Class was divided into categories according to itsmarket application and sales channels: Foodservice; Freestyleand Ready-to-Drink. Each category was then separated into sub-categories to represent popular products currently being sold inthe marketplace for that respective category.
The judging panels for both classes rated teas on the followingcharacteristics: brewed color, brewed aroma, brewed flavor,brewed mouth-feel, and brewed harmony. Hot tea submissionswere also judged on the dry leaf. Each tea also had to meetthe minimum requirement of category definition as well. Theseratings were then used to calculate an overall numerical value ona 100-point scale. This value is each teas World Tea Rating.
WOrLD TEA rATING
The following guidelines can be used tointerpret the resulting ratings:
96-100 rArE: unique tea, difficult toreplicate in future manufacturingprocesses
