Workshop 2: Tea Flights (formerly known as "Origins") AFTERNOON SESSION (Room #S233)

Feedback form is now closed.

Video Stream

Tea Flights is something new just added this year to replace Origins. These will be quick 30 minute tastings of the most popular teas or botanicals that come from different growing regions. This will give you the opportunity to taste and learn about what each region produces and the flavor profiles to look for. This year we will be a cocktail to some of the offerings plus a special drawing from one of the countries for a trip for 2 (airfare not included) for a tea tour, more on that later. Your Emcee for the day will be Daniel Lewis.
