The Art of Green Tea: An Outdoor Mindful Tea Experience

Taste and compare teas as you learn proper brewing techniques, explore a tea ritual on a farm, and experience tea with all your senses. Step away from the rush of everyday life and join us for an intimate morning of tea, nature, and mindful connection at Ren & Kate Farm. During this 90-minute guided experience, we’ll explore the art of preparing and enjoying green tea using multiple infusions using the gongfu-inspired tea ritual. You’ll learn how water temperature, steeping time, and brewing methods can change the flavor of your tea. We will use tea as a simple practice in being fully present by noticing the color, aroma, warmth, flavor, and experience of each cup. Together, we will: • Learn the history of green tea and proper brewing techniques • Taste and compare different teas and brewing methods • Participate in a guided, mindful tea ritual • Explore tea through all of the senses • Pause for reflection and conversation • Sit on a balcony overlooking a pasture and peaceful pond No previous tea knowledge or meditation experience is needed. This is a relaxed, welcoming gathering for anyone who loves tea, is curious about tea, or simply wants an opportunity to slow down and experience something new. Small cups will be served throughout the experience so you can enjoy each tasting without filling up too quickly. A light snack will also be provided. Space is intentionally limited to 8 guests to keep the gathering personal and unhurried.
