About the event
Oolong is often considered to be the most 'artisanal' form of tea, renowned for being made with ancient tea processing methods that are secretly passed down through families for generations. This interactive class will open the doors to a whole world, where we'll explore questions like:
-What makes oolong different from other types of tea?
-Why are they generally more expensive?
-What are the different varities of oolong, such as 'rock oolong'?
-Why do oolongs often win 'Tea of the Year' competitions, and what in the world is the Iron Goddess of Mercy?
-How can I incorporate oolong into my at-home tea selection?
