Tea Classes
History
of Tea and Tea Ware
90 minutes
$10.00
Specific tea pots were
conceptualized and designed to prepare specific teas.
If you can’t get enough of the fascinating stories and lore surrounding
our favorite beverage, this is the class for you. Scoops, caddies, cozies, you name it, all play an integral
part in tea’s presentation. From
Japanese side handled pots, Chinese Yixing (that will actually “refuse” to
brew the wrong tea) to a German
porcelain “sleeping” tea pot, you’ll see unusual pots and accoutrements
and get the stories behind their unique design for tea.
You’ll also taste a delicious and just as wide ranging, variety of teas
worthy of their historic and fascinating presentation.
Tea
Basics
90 minutes $10.00
Learn about tea from the
ground up; from its botanical origin, the difference between White, Green,
Oolong and Black tea, how the leaves which grow on the plant become the leaves
that steep in the cup. We’ll
share stories about the “discovery” of tea and some of the legends that make
up the rich history of this ancient, remarkable beverage.
Brief section on health benefits as well as simple techniques and
guidelines for brewing the perfect cup of tea.
You will sample some great teas and come away with an understanding that
will greatly enhance your appreciation and enjoyment of tea.
This is where you get
started for a life long love affair with tea!
Iced
Tea
90 minutes
$10.00
Ahhhh… Summer, and
what does the avid tea lover enjoy more in summer than ICE TEA. I’ll brew up and chill down some great teas that really hit
the spot when the heat is on. I’ll
show you a variety of unique, convenient and easy methods for using loose tea to
make ice tea in any quantity from one glass just for you, or how to pull it off
for a crowd. Certain teas chill
better, don’t cloud and have flavor profiles that stand up better to ice.
We’ll taste a bunch of them and I’ll tell you why.
I’ll also introduce you to a new line of “sweat free” glasses just
right for summer refreshing!
There’s been a lot of interest in this class, the timing is
perfect, don’t miss it!
