This month, Peter will be brewing a from a selection of Song's Si Fang Cha teas, including a yet-to-be released aged Buddha's Hand that tastes like yellow watermelon and orange blossom water!
Our Si Fang Cha collection is inspired by the intimate supper clubs of the Song Dynasty, featuring a small-batch teas for special occasions. We pull these down to mark special occasions - birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, the reunion of old friends... In addition to their exquisite flavor and layered character, they help us mark the passage of time, memories tied to tea brewing sessions that celebrate the extraordinary - and quotidian! - events of our daily lives. Sometimes, brewing a slow cup of tea is occasion enough to celebrate.
Each tasting session seats 6, and will last approximately 2 hours. Dates, times, and tickets for each seating can be found on TOCK.
