Not sure how to prepare your tea? Or curious about the different flavors or names of a tea? This introductory class is the perfect setting to have all your questions about tea answered and gain some serious tea knowledge. We will share ways to brew the best tasting teas. We talk about the best water to use, how long to steep each type of tea and the optimal water temperature.
As an added treat, each student will receive a 2oz. bag of tea to test their new tea skills at home! We promise you will go home a quasi-tea snob! Tea Tastings are taught by Chris McKann, the owner of The Path of Tea. Chris has a wealth of knowledge, having participated in over 1,000 tea tastings over the past 5 years.
The central aspect of tea ceremony involves harmony, respect, purity and tranquility. The whole process is not about drinking tea, but is about aesthetics, preparing a bowl of tea from one’s heart.
When Thia McKann founded The Path of Tea with husband Chris McKann in 2006, that is exactly what she hoped to accomplish with their shop. A place where she could pour her heart out, cup by cup to her community.
Houston Native and Spring Woods High graduate in 1973, Thia McKann worked diligently for years to become the first Certified Tea Master in Texas. She could much more aptly be classified as a healer than a shop owner, and believed education to be the primary focus for The Path of Tea. She was teacher/educator at Houston’s premier cancer hospital MD Anderson and taught the history of tea; how tea is produced, and the numerous health benefits of varying teas to Medical students, Patients and Caregivers.
“We believe if people are able to better understand what organic tea can do to heal the body, mind and spirit it can make a huge contribution as well as positive changes in our world, and in our lives.”– Thia McKann
Thia left this world, and her family, to begin the next phase of her journey in December of 2012. She leaves behind a legacy of joy that is continued by her partner in life, Chris McKann to this day.
