Chinese tea culture refers to the methods of preparation of tea, the equipment used to make tea, and the occasions in which tea is consumed in China. 

Quality Chinese teas are calming and have the ability to shift us into deeper, more profound states of awareness. They also have flavor and aroma profiles that are beyond belief, these are not like ANY teas you have had before.  

Brewing tea is an art that is simple to learn, yet one can work on it for a lifetime and never know all its secrets. Instruction will include learning about tea ware and techniques that will open up many new dimensions of the tea experience for you. The course is designed to introduce the various types of Chinese tea, use of the tea set and implements, and proper storage of tea leaves. 

We will learn various methods to make green tea, oolong tea, black tea, and pu'er tea. We will also learn how water, time, temperature, tea ware, and our own state affect our ability to bring each tea to its fullest life. Of course we will drink amazing rare teas also.
