We gather to deep dive into the universe of tea. Do you seek to understand the differences between the cultivars? How does the mountain slope change the flavor of an oolong? The tea plant, camelia sinensis has 220 varieties, and with each one, there is another style of cultivation, and with each of these there is another style of processing, and of course, each of us has our own style of brewing. To begin to understand tea you must learn the differences between these big categories.

We will proceed with 3 - 6 teas at a time. Each week we shall learn the fundamentals of one broad category of tea. Such as Green Tea. We will also be challenging each other in the art and game of the tea sommelier. This means expanding our palettes and our ability to articulate what we taste. We will also include aspects of non-religious ceremonies, and perhaps some simple meditation. Socializing and fun will also abound.

Sponsors are welcome & Scholarships are available.
