Do you like tea? But, REALLY like tea?  Do you give it a sniff and a swish, pretending its wine, while guessing the flavors and origins?  Well if so, this week´s Course-of-the-Week may be just for you.  A “tea designer” is someone with the artful knowledge of blending and creating tasty tea infusions.  Tea blends may include, but are not limited to, spices, flowers, leaves, fruits and chocolates.

Legend has it that around 2737 BC Emperor Shen Nung was resting next to a wild tea tree, when a slight breeze stirred the branches of the tree, causing some leaves to fall into the water that he was boiling. The resulting infusion seemed delightfully refreshing and restorative, and that’s how tea was discovered.

This weeks course is offered at the Escuela Argentina de Tea, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and is aimed at the general public (so you do not need prior tea knowledge) and offers a certificate of completion.

Enjoy.
