Tea Class is offered by Floating Leaves. We can cover a wide range of topics, but hope to give you something tangible you can take home and improve your experience of tea. That includes : Tea brewing (beginning to advanced techniques), tea appreciation, identifying grades of quality in tea, general introduction to Taiwanese oolong, etc.
We specialize in small batch Taiwanese teas, which we source through a community of world class growers and makers in Taiwan.
From the very beginning nearly twenty years ago, we were carrying teas that exceed standards for single origin loose leaf tea in America. We made a commitment to source teas that we love and feel excited to share. In order to share teas that can do things beyond what the average tea drinker expects from tea, we became educators out of necessity. If we can show our tea friends what a good tea can do -- for example development, aftertaste, texture, throat sensation -- we figure they will choose to drink better teas in the future. We strive to open a pandora's box, and we love to hear the response 'I didn't know tea could do that'.
We call our method of approaching tea Body Centered Tea Appreciation. This method was developed by Shiuwen based on spending time with multi generational tea families and preeminent tea masters in the Taiwanese tea community. We strive to bring this authentic Taiwanese understanding of tea and share it with our American friends. We believe tea can change lives, because it has changed ours continuously over the course of the last 20 years.
