A World of Teas

Learn how to brew the perfect cup of tea, while sampling 7 to 8 fine, loose-leaf teas, with sweet and savory snacks to complement them. Tea has played a major role in the history of the world, influencing trade and trade routes, arts and crafts, cultural habits, and social movements. Discovered in China, the tea plant (camellia sinensis) traveled to Japan, Nepal, India, Ceylon, the Middle East, Western Europe, and, finally, the Americas. Like wines, there are hundreds of kinds of tea, with different qualities, depending on the varietal, climate, soil, and processing methods. We’ll sample a variety of teas—black, oolong, green, and others--from China, India, Sri Lanka (Ceylon), Taiwan, and other great producers. We’ll also discuss the fascinating history of this “elixir from the East.” Feel free to bring one or two of your favorite tea cups or mugs.
