A Tree of Teas is a piece in which I composed based on how a particular tea tastes to me and how it makes me feel after drinking it. Earl Gray, Rooibos, Oolong, Ginger, and Green teas are the five movements and all have distinctly different flavors from bold tastes, smooth textures, and some even have a “bite” to them.

 

I. Earl Gray

II. Rooibos

III. Oolong

IV. Ginger

V. Green
