THE CHINESE TEA CEREMONY EXPERIENCE
Presented by Laura Kolinski-Schultz

Sunday, March 18, 2012 - 1:30 – 3:30 pm!

The Chinese Tea Ceremony is entertaining and informative and provides nourishment for the body and mind. Laura will share information on the legend and history of tea, how it is cultivated, harvested and processed, the different types and qualities of tea, how to properly brew tea and the health benefits of drinking tea. The use of tea in Traditional Chinese Medicine, amusing anecdotes, tea poetry, an explanation of the making of Yixing teapots, and what design elements are preferred in a functional teapot are included.

All of this information is presented informally while Laura prepares and serves three different kinds of top quality Chinese and Taiwanese teas. Each person will sample several small cups of each tea while enjoying fresh organic fruits and tea snacks prepared especially for the ceremony. The emphasis is on healthy enjoyment in a relaxed and casual atmosphere. You will leave feeling refreshed, peaceful and energized.
