Tea Classes and Free Shipping Reminder

Dear Tea Lovers,

Don’t forget about the tea classes this Saturday at the Antique Trove in Roseville.  I know the weather has been very yucky, but it’s supposed to be a bit better on Saturday. It’s too wet for yard work and I know everyone is tired of being stuck in the house, why not come learn about tea?

Did you know that herbal teas are not really tea? Did you know that different teas require different steeping times and temperatures? Have you ever had green tea and absolutely hated it and wondered why?

Come learn all about tea at the Antique Trove in Roseville this Saturday, January 23rd starting at 11:00. All classes are free! I’ll also bring a savory scone for you to sample.

In Tea 101 at 11:00, I’ll explain the basic types of tea and the difference between pure teas and herbal teas. I’ll teach you how to properly prepare the different types of tea. It’s easy! In addition, you’ll also learn about tea equipment and more! We’ll be tasting many types of tea including White Ginger Orange Peach,  Sencha Kyoto Cherry, Master’s Choice Ti Kwan Yin, Big Red Robe Oolong, Zhen Qu, Ceylon, 1992 Pu-erh and I’ll bring in a real tea plant for you to see.

At 1:00, I’ll be talking about the health benefits of tea. We’ll be tasting Tai Ping, a new one called Houjicha and one of my favorite green teas, called Genmaicha, known as the “Popcorn Tea.” We’ll also taste flavored green teas such as Plum Green, Peach Green, and Pear Green. After that we’ll move into the Rooibos herbal teas which are very high in antioxidants and do not contain any caffeine. We’ll taste Orange Blossom Rooibos and our new Peach Rooibos. If you’ve been wanting to get healthy, now is your chance! Start your new year out right!

As a bonus, all green and rooibos tea will be 15% off that day, January 23rd at the Antique Trove and on-line.

Also don’t forget for those of you too far away to come, it’s free shipping from now until February 2nd on orders of $20.00 or more.  So if you can’t come to my tasting, have your own tasting at home!

Have a great day!  Hope to see many of you on Saturday!

For those of you who missed the newsletter, here it is again.

P.S. In the newsletter, I mentioned a class on How to Make Chocolate Raspberry Scones, for some dumb reason, I messed up the date.  It should be Saturday, February 6th not the 2nd. The mistake was fixed in a later revision of the newsletter file that is on-line now.  I’ll be talking more about that class next week.
