Tea 101 and Health Benefits of Tea Class

Join me at the Antique Trove on January 23rd at 11:00 and 1:00 for 2 special tea classes.

Do you know that different teas require different steeping times and temperatures? Have you ever had green tea and absolutely hated it and wondered why?

11:00 Tea 101 with Tea Tasting

I’ll explain the basic types of tea and the difference between pure teas and herbal teas. I’ll also teach you how to properly prepare the different types of tea. It’s easy! My son who is 9 makes tea for himself every day. In addition, you’ll also learn the proper techniques, the different equipment and more! We’ll be tasting 5 types of tea and I’ll bring in a real tea plant for you to see. It’s just now getting ready to bloom!

1:00 The Health Benefits of Tea with Green Tea/Rooibos Tea Tasting

I’ll be talking about the health benefits of tea. We’ll be tasting Tai Ping, Houjicha and one of my favorite green teas, called Genmaicha also 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 a new Peach Rooibos. If you’ve been wanting to get healthy, now is your chance! Start your new year out right!

All classes are free and are held at the Antique Trove. I hope to see you there!
