Join Kintsugi House for an introductory Japanese tea tasting. Participants will explore what makes Japanese teas distinct, learn how growing and processing methods shape the cup, and watch a demonstration of brewing techniques. Andrea will share context from tea history and culture and offer guidance for making better tea at home. Light refreshments will accompany the tasting, and there will be time for questions and discussion. This free event welcomes newcomers and longtime tea drinkers interested in deepening their understanding of Japanese tea.

Celebrate the Lunar New Year with a guided exploration of Japanese loose-leaf green teas at Treats Studios in downtown Spruce Pine. REGISTRATION REQUIRED.
