Tea Time
Tea Cups Up!
What do you know about tea?
Everyone appreciates a good cup of tea! Even people who are not tea snobs (like us) will enjoy a good cuppa now and then. Want to be a tea junkie like us?
Over the past year we offered a series of 10 tea classes, focusing on everything from the history of tea, to tea culture around the world, classes and types of tea, tea traditions, tea equipment and tea ware, brewing and more. With each class each participant brewed one or two cups of different teas and we journaled our experience. The teas were sent to the participants in advance of the classes.
If you'd be interested in participating in this monthly interactive tea class on Zoom, please send us an email HERE and let us know about your interest. We'll be beginning another series in February if we get enough participants. The classes are $7 each, which covers the cost of class recaps, fun tea pages and all the teas.

2. It takes around 2,000 tiny leaves to make just one pound of finished tea. One pound of tea provides about 200 cups. 3. The high levels of antioxidants in tea slow the absorption of caffeine, which results in a gentler increase caffeine in your system and a longer period of alertness with no crash at the end. 4.
