Shared Waters: Patience, Pressed. Pu'er Tea Tasting + Workshop
Advertisement
We return this month with the next gathering in our Shared Waters tea workshop series, and this is one we've been anticipating since the beginning.
This offering marks the first in a multi-part exploration of pu'er, one of China's most prized and storied teas. Together we'll trace its origins and history, its cultural significance, and the ways the tradition has evolved into what it is today.
Over two and a half hours, we'll learn what exactly pu'er is, how to evaluate it, explore how terroir shapes its character and how aging transforms its expression. We'll taste four teas: beginning by sampling two young pu'ers, one raw (sheng) and one ripe (shou), then tasting them alongside their aged counterparts, revealing what time does to a tea.
Shared Waters workshops are designed as a communal, slow experience: a chance to gather around the table, share attention, and appreciate a tradition of tea that is thousands of years old.
Space is limited, creating an intimate setting for learning and sensory exploration.
No prior tea knowledge is required, just curiosity and a willingness to drink deeply.
10am doors | 10:30-1pm workshop | $35 per person
