his book is a continuation of the educational work we do at Čaj Chai, pronounced [Chai Chai], a teahouse – teashop located in the old Jewish quarter of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, where periodical tea workshops, tea tastings, tea pairings and tea ceremonies are held. The Tea Cupper’s Notebook is the perfect support for any tea taster, sommelier or tea enthusiast who wishes to deepen their knowledge, develop their palate and record their tea tasting experiences and discoveries in an organized manner.
