The Botanical Tea Tasting is offered by Grace Lee of eikcam ceramics, a newly minted certified Herbals & Infusions Specialist. She will be guiding patrons through a sensory based tasting of 3-4 in-house blended botanical teas inspired by different regions of Asia. We will be sipping on bright and crisp teas with Yuzu and Asian Pear to warming smooth teas with Cardamom, Saffron and Ginger.
After our feast, we will be guided to create your own tea pet with clay.
A tea pet is a tea spirit or companion sculpted in raw clay reflecting its owner's personality. You can share your tea by pouring some over your tea pet which will patina over time with all the lovely teas you 'feed' it. Tea pets are traditionally left plain, but we will have a selection of underglazes ( dry glazes ) available to paint and personalize your pet.
Pick up will be two weeks following the event after all of your tea pets have been fully dried and fired in our kilns.
