Example events and prices for this demo.
Store tea in the dark
Light and heat flatten flavour fast. A closed tin in a cupboard keeps tea fresh for months.
Use filtered water
Borehole water can be hard. Filtered water lets the tea taste of itself.
Warm the pot
Swirl hot water in the pot first so the brew does not cool too quickly.
The letter
A short letter, once a month
New teas, tasting evenings and one recipe. No more than that.
Thank you, .
