This will be a great event! I have chosen Franchia in the Murray Hill area. It is a beautiful space with contemporary and traditional Korean elements intertwined. You can visit the website at www.franchia.com to get an idea.
We will be in the private, traditional Korean tea room on the top floor. It is designed with waxed floors, low tea tables and intricately carved wooden sliding doors. I have arranged a special menu which includes sampling two teas and light tea fare. The event is prix fixed at $36/person (tax & tip incl.) which I will require be pre-paid upon indicating a "yes" reservation. This special tea room only holds a maximum of 10 people and I'm sorry but reservations must be pre-paid in effort to create an event filled with those who are truly interested. Cancellations must be made prior to 72 hours of the event, within this time-frame a full refund will be given. Cancellations made after 72 hours will not be refunded unless a another member of Tea Tour NY decides to attend in your place.
PLEASE NOTE: While we endeavor to offer events that are appropriate for all members, we will not be able to account for special dietary restrictions/allergies at this event. The menu will be as indicated below. If you have an allergy please contact the restaurant prior to submitting your reservation to see if the ingredient is utilized in any of the following menu items. Also, the event is on the top floor and we will be sitting on floor mats, please keep this in mind for your dress attire and also if you have any disabilities that may make attendance uncomfortable.
Our Afternoon will include:
A first selection of tea (including 1st picked Korean wild green tea)

I look forward to seeing you at this event! If you have any experience with Korean tea please be sure to bring along a story! As will become the usual at these event, I plan to bring information on Korean tea for your continued enjoyment (and tea samples if possible!).
