Plucked from the southernmost tea garden in Yunnan, just above the Vietnam border, this tea has a unique personality. It is harvested a few days before the Lunar New Year, towards the end of winter. The leaves have been dormant all winter long, soaking up nutrients in the soil as they rest. The air is dry and cold this time of year and the leaves pick up a notes of smoke in the air and a dewy sweetness.
When picked, the leaves exude flavors and aromas that range from savory charcoal-smoked veggies to sweet red bean paste. The long winter hibernation has harbored a stamina that will allow this tea to be steeped at least 10 times, each yielding vibrant new notes. The first few steeps offer warm hints of smoke and charcoal, and as each steep reaches deeper within the leaf, it accesses reserves of nectar. Each cup has a healthy amount of body and brings to mind steamed artichoke hearts and summer squash.
Sourced from our spring tea trip in Dehua, this unglazed kyusu is perfect for people who love steeping in a larger vessel. The nude/earth tones make it a classic that can integrate into any teaware arsenal and it's a dream to pour. Volume: 12oz. / 350ml Material: Dehua Clay
This gathering will be held from 11am - 1pm October 25 and is hosted by Jun Jun Li and Bodhi Barrett (from Soft Medicine).
Zen of Calligraphy is something that can benefit all of us. Come practice and learn Chinese/Japanese characters and the spirits behind them. When we sit to write calligraphy, it is a moment of coming to the center. We keep the mind still and become attentive to the feeling of the brush in my hand. The brush becomes an extension of my body, as the strokes take form with grace.
This seating comes with Gong Fu Tea, calligraphy materials and discussions around Chinese culture.
