Friday May 16, 7-9 PM,
With Ken Cohen.
Please sign up today, Wednesday, May 14 if you plan to attend!
The exquisite taste and aroma of China’s high mountain teas will bring you to a dimension of being that Taoists call “the Immortal Realm.” After introducing the basics of Chinese tea appreciation, Ken will discuss how to create a beautiful, harmonious tea gathering. Experience a Taoist meditation to calm the mind and open the senses, so that energy of tea can spread from the palate through the whole body. Then enjoy Chinese Tea Ceremony, and sample various hand-picked, single estate teas. There will also be time to discuss how western medicine documents the effects of tea on cancer, heart disease, and aging. As ancient classics proclaim, tea is truly a “divine medicine.”
