You and guests should now remove the fragrance cup which will be sitting inside the teacup. Simply twist the fragrance cup out of the small teacup to allow the tea to inhabit the teacup. Now, appreciate the fragrance of the tea by sniffing the fragrance cup. Don’t be afraid to put your nose in it! You’ll be surprised at how strong the aroma is from this tiny cup. Enjoying the aroma of your tea is the first step in enjoying the taste.
