Study Trip Spring 2019
I will travel to Anhui province in China to learn about the processing methods applied to Tai Ping Hou Kui green tea, the refinement techniques associated with Keemun red/fully oxidized tea and Liu An black/fermented tea. Next, I will go to Taipei to take lessons on the art of Chinese tea, attend a ceramic exhibition as well as a floral arrangement class, and learn some breathing techniques. In Japan, I will visit two craft shows and take lessons on the way of sencha.

Tea with ceramic artist 寒川義雄
