"A lot of the times when you're cupping tea, you're not just sitting down and tasting one tea.

And because you're tasting so many different flavors at once, you'll want to be able to clear your palette in between tastings or cuppings, and so what we recommend for that are pretzels, saltine crackers, or just some crackers like I have here today. A snack that is bland and salty that will clear your palette so that you'll be ready to taste the next cup of tea."
