We will join Janny Chyn from Shanghai Pathways for an authentic experience in tea. 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 can be worked on for a lifetime. The class is designed to introduce various types of Chinese tea, the use of the tea set and implements, and proper storage of tea leaves. We will learn various methods to make oolong tea, white tea, and pu'er tea, as well as information about traditional tea culture. We will also learn how water, time, temperature, teaware, and your own state affect your ability to bring each tea to its fullest life. Of course, we will also drink amazing and rare teas.
