Upcoming Tea Tastings
Edmon's South Indian Arrivals - Thursday, Feb 7th
Move over China and Japan-there's a new tea star on the rise. It was our great fortune to secure four spectacular teas from the South Indian tea stronghold of Nilgiri. Traditionally famous for producing black teas of medium quality for the mass market, Nilgiri is now home to several boutique producers that devote their energies to cultivating premium micro-lots of as little as 250 kilograms. Join us for an experience you will not find anywhere else!
Green Teas from Chinese and Taiwan - Thursday, Feb 21st
China, the birthplace of tea, produces a dizzying wealth of green teas. Taiwan, likewise, is rich with tea tradition. While even a week of tastings would not exhaust the possibilities, our survey will bring you memorable highlights-classics that are worth knowing. On the eve of the new season, join us as tea heads home to the East.
Welcome to Tea! - Thursday, Feb 28th
A warm welcome to a hot cup. Join us for an introduction to the world's most popular drink-tea! A night of fun exploring the diversity of appearance and taste among the major tea types. Learn about the journey from garden to cup and professional tasting technique.
Green Teas from Japanese - Thursday, Mar 6th
Nearly a millennium ago, Buddhist monks crossed the Sea of Japan as they returned from their study in China. Along with their newfound wisdom came cha-tea-and the birth of a tradition that has become deeply ingrained in Japanese culture and identity. Come with us for an evening exploring the unique character of Sencha, Bancha and Kukicha among others.
Black Teas from Assam (India) - Thursday, Mar 13th
The mighty Brahmaputra River roars down from the Himalayas into the plains of Assam and Bangladesh before it merges with the Ganges and drains into the Indian Ocean. It is here, in these fertile lowlands, that some of the finest black teas in the world are grown. Robust and malty, with hints of tobacco, squash and burnt caramel, Assam teas came to dominate the Western table. Brace your taste buds as we explore the diversity of taste in East India. Milk optional!
