Azusa Tea Club (4/23/2011) - Focus Tasting: Pouchong



4/23/2011 at Azusa Tea Club -
This workshop was set before our trip to Taiwan and we did not think of this is Easter Weekend. Several members had canceled their RSVP till very late. However, we still manage to have 10 people for this Pocuhong workshop.
We got 4 samples to be cupped vertically for the first session. From the dry leaves checking, cupping and appreciating the aroma, liquor and flavor, plus the review of wet leaves....we've done it all professionally, step by step. The second session, we got 4 volunteers to make tea with different vessels to serve... Patti did with Zen Teapot, Henry with Tea-One brewer, Dorothy with Glass Gai-Wan, and Richard performed Gong-Fu Tea Ceremony....
We just enjoy a great afternoon together.
