Description

It is no surprise to know that coffee is the beloved beverage of choice in Seattle. There is no shortage of 4th wave coffee culture cafes, where beans are sustainably sourced, roasted locally, and 2nd generation Vietnamese Americans are elevating the coffee narrative of Vietnamese coffee beans with enticing beverages. Yet, tea is the 2nd most drunk beverage in the world other than water, and among our coffee culture, specialty loose-leaf teas still resonates with millennials and especially Asian Americans where tea is deeply rooted in our culture. Join us for an enticing tea presentation and tasting, learning about various pure tea origins, production methods and how terroir impacts tea taste and flavors just like wine and coffee. Beyond white, green, oolong and black teas, you’ll also have an opportunity to taste naturally caffeine-free, exquisite botanical blends like Citrus Lavender Love and Goji Berry Party!, which makes amazing Iced teas as well as spirit-free cocktails. $25 admission per person*.
