Demystifying Tea Blending (O'Connell)
Anyone can make a delicious herbal tea blend! In this class, presented by herbalist Mo Katz-Christy, 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.
Part information and science, part sensory exploration, this class will be as playful as it is educational! Bring your own jar to take your tea blend home.
Registration is required and will open May 15.
