Each month we’ll explore a different tea or tea tradition. These gatherings may take us through the mountains of Taiwan with High Mountain and Dong Ding oolongs, into the world of aged Sheng and Shou Pu’erh, or explore teas from Vietnam, British Columbia, and other special teas I’ve collected along the way, including Liu Bao and GABA tea.

This is not a formal tea class, but rather an opportunity to learn through experience—tasting, conversation, and sharing time around the tea table.

A welcoming space for tea lovers, those new to tea, and anyone curious to slow down and enjoy the simple experience of gathering together.

What to expect

• Gong Fu tea preparation and tasting

• A different tea focus each month

• Conversation, questions, and shared exploration

• Learning about tea traditions and preparation

• Connection with others in our local tea community

I’ll be sharing teas from my personal collection and travels, including teas from Taiwan, Vietnam, British Columbia, and other small-batch producers I’ve had the opportunity to discover.

Tea and select teaware will be available for purchase for those who would like to continue their tea journey at home.

This gathering will continue on the first Saturday of each month through the spring.

Come share a cup of tea, slow down for a while, and help build a local community around the art and practice of tea.
