Continuing Education: Monthly Group Tea Tastings
Our
Monthly Group Tea Tastings program is open to all of
our Certified Tea Masters and those currently enrolled in one of our
training programs. Not only will you be able to taste and evaluate a
special superior-grade tea each month, but you will have the opportunity
to share your experience with others using our new online audio-visual
system.
Best of all, the tea samples will be delivered to your door each month by San Francisco's world-famous Imperial Tea Court, which selects teas deemed as the most remarkable among the season's new arrivals. It's all part of their Tea of the Month Club. In each shipment, you will find approximately 2-4 ounces of tea, along with information about that particular tea and brewing recommendations. Your first shipment of tea comes with a free gift, too. Your yearly membership commences the month following your enrollment date and lasts for the next 12 months.
Roy Fong is the founder of Imperial Tea Court, the first traditional Chinese teahouse in America. Mr. Fong is regarded as one of the world's top authorities on Chinese and Taiwanese teas. Each year he visits selected tea gardens to supervise all aspects of production: from planting and cultivation to harvesting, processing, and grading.
Certified Tea Master Chas Kroll, executive director of the American Tea Masters Association, will lead the online tea preparation each month. Registrants are encouraged to participate step-by-step Gongfu Cha style.
