Saturday, November 14 | 5:15–7:00 pm
Check-in: 5:15–5:30 pm
Limited to 30 participants
ALL EVENT TICKETS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE!
Join us for a special guided tasting exploring the rich and diverse tea cultures of Indigenous communities across India, with Poorvi, founder of Herbs & Kettles, co-hosted by Teance Fine Tea.
Long before tea became a global commodity, Indigenous communities across India cultivated, crafted, and enjoyed distinctive teas rooted in their lands, cultures, and traditions. This experience invites you to discover these largely unfamiliar tea traditions, the people who sustain them, and the stories behind each cup.
Through a guided tasting and a presentation featuring sourcing journeys across India, Poorvi will share the cultural significance of these teas, how they are made, and the communities continuing to preserve centuries-old knowledge and practices.
