Events
Workshops, Classes, and Tea Experiences
At Pairteas Workshops, Classes, and Tea Experiences you will gain a deeper understanding of tea:
- how it is made,
- how your smell, taste, and trigeminal system (your "volume dial") all come together in your brain to give you the experience of flavor,
- and how to use this knowledge to increase your enjoyment of teas and tea-food pairings.
Join me at the Northwest Tea Festival to take a "Deep Dive into the Sensory Appreciation of Tea," September 24-25, 2023.
