Tea Tasting

Sunday, October 12 at 1:00pm

2202 Ave X, Brooklyn, New York

Every other Weekend, while the shop is closed, we set aside a couple of hours to brew and share tea with new and old friends, and you're invited :)

It's a casual, friendly tea tasting with Misha, where we try 3 different teas (see below). It will be either new arrivals, old favorites, or fresh samples. We will take time to explore their origins, how they were made, and what we're tasting. It's not a class or a lecture – just tea, conversation, and a chance to slow down and enjoy the moment :)

We like to keep it small – there are only 6 seats available, so if you're planning to come, it's a good idea to reserve your spot in advance. The price is nominal, to cover the cost of the teas we are tasting. 

So, if you're free on this day and want to try some good teas with good people – join us. We'll be here, kettle on :)

The teas we'll be tasting are White Teas:

• "Silver Needle" – Our "Silver Needle" tea comes from an unusual place – the Chiang Rai district in Northern Thailand. Unlike its Chinese counterpart, the buds from these Thai tea trees are significantly thicker and larger in size, resulting in a denser brew with a fuller body. 

• "Moonlight Beauty" – like the "Silver Needle", this tea is made of only tender and delicate buds covered with a soft white fuzz. This tea is dried in the shade. Heat and ultraviolet radiation from sunlight are two factors that can destroy the volatile amino acids in tea leaves. Thus, keeping the tea leaves shaded and cool increases the overall amount of amino acids. 

• "White Moonlight" – is the same plant material as "Moonlight Beauty", but for "White Moonlight", the picking standard is a bud with one leaf, resulting in a different flavor than "Moonlight Beauty".

If you can't make it this time but want to stay updated about our future tea tastings, then subscribe to notifications to stay in the know. We hope to see you next time:)
