Tea Tasting, Tea History and Tea Etiquette: Barb's Tea Service presents at Chesterfield Township Library!

Barb's Tea Service presents tea talk & tea tasting at Chesterfield Township Library

 

Barb's Tea Service presented a tea talk and tea tasting at Chesterfield Township Library this week - an event where things "heated up" quickly with a sampling of Earl Grey, but eventually "cooled down" with chilled matcha lattes. 


Three different teas were sampled and a choice of herbals to take home



The Chesterfield Township Library meeting room was filled with maximum capacity this past Wednesday and the group of guests were absolutely delightful. From sharing their own tea experiences to wanting to assist with set up and tear down, these attendees were amazing.

It was wonderful to meet new tea friends and see "old" tea friends as well.


"Old" friends, Patti and Kimi, attended the tea talk/tea tasting event



While I covered tea topics that included history and etiquette, BTS team member, Pam B., brewed and served three different types of tea. On our tasting menu:  Earl Grey, Sencha and Matcha.  To wrap up on a caffeine-free note, each guest was asked to select up to two herbal teas to take home.


We had a wonderful tea time at Chesterfield Township Library




Many attendees brought their own teacups and, as is typically the case, they hold engaging stories of their own. Some cups were delicate bone china handed down from grandmothers, others were of the super-sized variety for daily tea consumption. (We have quite a few of both kinds in our own cupboards!)

A delightful evening of tea at the Chesterfield Township Library meeting/tea room. A special thanks to Adult Services Librarian, Amber Johnson, for extending the invitation to us earlier this year.
