Floating Leaves Tea

My new favorite thing to do at a tea garden is chewing on one of the fresh little buds and comparing the taste of different plants. It makes micro variations in growing climate so much more obvious.

Like, if there’s a lot of other plants around the bush providing shade or if the tea bush is more solitary, absorbing lots of direct sun - the impact of the leaves as you chew them is totally different! Cultivars, elevation, it all becomes so damn tangible when you’re on the mountain chewing on the leaves 😁🍃 So much fun!

Join us for the Cascadia Tea Events festival this Saturday in Everett at the Forest Center! It’s going to be a good time with lots of local tea folks. Beautiful space too! Hope to see you there 🍵🥰🎉
