  „The new grading room has an open floor design with abundant natural light, which is an ideal condition for the grading process. There are four customized cupping tables, designed by CoffeeTec of Redwood City, CA and built by Geiger Manufacturing in Stockton, CA. The tables accommodate three graders and one preparer, have a 54-inch, granite-resin, rotating top, are plumbed with hot and cold water and house three basins (no spittoons). In addition, there are eight roasting machines built by Jabez Burns and Sons of New York, six of which are new, computerized roasters with automated timers and roasting control; two are antique roasters built in 1909 and donated by the Sara Lee Corporation.“

  „When the tea tastes to your liking, remove the leaves to avoid overcooking, which may create a bitter taste. I suggest using a cupping set experimenting with amounts of tea and timing. Green teas are excellent iced for cool summer refreshments. A longer steep time, 2 1/2 minutes, will lend your tea to a stronger tasting iced tea.“
