The Art of Sipping Tea with See Ellauri and Erik Muendel

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 their is another style of cultivation, and with each of these there is another style of processing, and of course each us have our own style of brewing. To begin to understand tea you must learn the differences between these big categories.

We will proceed 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 is the art and game of the tea sommelier. This means expanding out palettes and our ability to articulate what we taste. We will also include aspects of non-religious ceremony, and perhaps some simple meditation. Socializing and fun will also abound.

Sponsors welcomed & Scholarships available.
