San Francisco Tea Trip, Last Week for Discounts
Hi Tea Lovers!
I just returned from my San Francisco tea weekend. I had a blast! To read more about it, visit my blog.
I have so much to tell you about oolong teas. For those of you who don’t know exactly what oolongs are, they are a semi-oxidized tea. They fall in between green and black tea, but that description doesn’t even give them the credit they deserve. They are so much more than that! Since the World Tea Expo last year when I purchased 9 new ones, I have fallen in love with them. Now that I know even more of the history, and the varieties, I’m even more enamored. They are so unique! There are 5 main types of oolongs:
Pouchong – such as Jade Pouchong
Jade – such as Jade Oolong
Amber – such as Ti Kwan Yin and Wuyi Rock (one of my new favorites)
Champagne – Oriental Beauty and Silver Tip Oolongs
Aged – many different ones, this one goes through a unique process where it is stored in porous jars for a year or so, then baked again, then stored, then baked, this can be done for many years. It produces a sweeter taste and much of the caffeine is baked out.
If you are interested in learning more, come to our oolong class on February 6th. The class size is very limited as we will be doing our own tastings on at least 6 different oolongs. So don’t delay if you are interested. You can sign up on-line or call the tea room directly.
If you don’t have any Superbowl plans this weekend and you don’t like football, why not come and have tea with us on Sunday? We are the perfect girlfriend get-away. Your husbands will be very occupied and you can relax and enjoy a day of afternoon tea. Call or reserve on-line today!
