Li Li and Stacie Robertson join together to create an East Meets West experience that will deepen your appreciation for tea and awaken your senses to the subtlety and depth of what the ancient traditions call to our attention.

• Jasmine Phoenix Pearls, a green tea
• Bao Zhong, an oolong tea

You will ENJOY a thorough discussion of these 5 true leaf teas focusing on:

• why and when to drink each one.
• each tea’s unique health benefits.
• a unique steeping presentation demonstrating how to unlock what the tea master intended you to enjoy.
• using all of your senses to taste, savor, and truly come to "know" the nature of each of these handmade, artisan teas.
• how each tea can be used as a personal ritual or to create authentic connections with others.

In addition to all of the knowledge we will share, you will RECEIVE:

• An exquisite Personal Tea Set, your perfect companion for enjoying your favorite brews on-the-go or during a cozy staycation. This compact, yet sophisticated tea set includes a glass pitcher, a ceramic infuser, two beautifully designed cups, and a convenient travel case. The set will be used to present one of the teas so you learn exactly how to use it. ($47 value) View Here
