About this Event
Gongfu tea is a Chinese brewing style for loose-leaf tea. In a single session, participants can experience the nuances of a tea’s taste and aroma, and how those characteristics evolve over multiple steeps. This style of tea-pouring creates a space where we can slow down and enjoy time with community.
To celebrate the lunar new year, we are hosting private Gongfu tea sessions with local tea expert, Chris Lum.
Time slots available:
