Demystifying Tea Blending
Anyone can make a delicious herbal tea blend! In this class, we will discuss a handful of common herbs for tea: their uses, flavors, energies, and what they add to a blend. We will smell each of the herbs and taste some as well, learning how the flavors blend and how they complement each other.
We will discuss different considerations for the process of making tea including infusing versus boiling, temperature of the water, and length of time infused.
Part information and science, part sensory exploration, this class will be as playful as it is educational!
