Gongfu Tea Big Meet Up in Westlake!
Details
Hello, Gongfu tea community!
Apologies for the hiatus, but we are finally planning another tea meet up on Sunday, June 7th at a residence in Downtown Seattle, Westlake area! Exact location details and navigation information will be shared with registered attendees closer to the event. Start time will be at 11am for now but may be subject to change -+1 hour.
This meetup is meant to be a social celebration of gong fu cha and the joy of tea, while giving everyone a chance to learn, practice, connect, and get to know our wonderful community.
About Our Gatherings:
These meetups are intended to be social with celebrating gong fu cha and the wonder of teas! If you’re interested in more intentional tea practice, we will also be having smaller gatherings designed to be more intentional and present with tea. This includes practicing techniques, tools, special teas, and more mindful brewing. Don't hesistaiton to ask either event host for more information on smaller meetups if you are interested!
Anyone is welcome to join the smaller gatherings after attending at least one of the public events like this one!
How You Can Participate:
- We welcome volunteers to brew tea! Whether you’re experienced or brand new and curious to try, you’re warmly encouraged to brew.
- Bringing tea or tea ware is appreciated but not required. If you have something you’d love to share, wonderful — if not, simply bring yourself.
- Bring your own tea cup! It helps us keep things organized since paper cups tend to get mixed up or misplaced. Also, if you plan to brew, it'd be really helpful to bring a tea tray if you have one.
- We strongly recommend eating before attending as tea on an empty stomach can cause stomach upset!
And as always, we’re all here to learn together. If you’re unfamiliar with gong fu cha brewing, we’re happy to teach — and we’d love to learn from others as well!
Please reach out with any questions.
