Learn the Art of Tea Blending

Join us for the perfect cozy workshop as the weather gets cold. In this fantastic collaboration with our friends at The Irie Cup, you'll learn the basic principles of creating different tea blends, taste a variety of teas and herbs, analyze individual flavor profiles, and make your own custom blend of tea using different herbs and flowers to enjoy at home.

You'll take home two custom tea blends, one we make as a class, and one you create on your own! Picture yourself with a cozy cup of custom-blended tea. Come alone or grab a few friends and register now to attend! Light snacks will also be provided.

Join us from 6:00-7:30 pm on January 13 for this fun and cozy workshop.

Makes a great holiday gift! Buy a ticket for you and your friend!

About the Presenter

For as long as they can remember, Joe and LaShanda have had an affinity for tea. Joe grew up in Chicago, surrounded by his father’s garden. A walk in their backyard transported you from the south side of Chicago to the flourishing flower gardens of Mandeville, Jamaica. Tomatoes, cucumbers, peas, carrots, and mint leaves: Growth was all around the home, and it was normal to harvest the fresh mint leaves to steep whenever it was time for tea.

While not surrounded by the same lush garden, LaShanda was raised by a passionate, tea-drinking, Jamaican family who always seemed to know exactly which tea to prescribe. Do you have a headache? Drink fever grass. A bad cold? Garlic tea. Upset stomach? Ginger Tea! All of the above? Drink Cerasee! By blending their two unique upbringings, Joe and LaShanda created their vision for The Irie Cup. Together, they endeavor to share their heritage with their friends, community, and the world—along with excellent loose-leaf tea, of course.
