Emerge is Willoughby Council's spring festival and I wanted to highlight a couple of cool tea events on 21 September.
Dive into the World of Tea
11am–noon at Chatswood Library
Discover the world of tea with our expert-led workshop (Raymond Mao of MY Tea House). Explore tea’s rich history, diverse types, and brewing techniques, and learn about its unique health benefits. Sample a range of teas, from soothing herbal infusions to robust black teas. Join us to deepen your appreciation and enjoy a flavourful journey into this timeless beverage.

Tea Ceremony in the Celestial Garden
1.30–2pm at Art Space on the Concourse
This takes place in conjunction with the installation work kitchen tales from the celestial garden. Artist Jayanto Tan has created the lament of a tea ceremony performance that echoes the sound of a loved one. The performance of gathering and drinking the green tea whilst creating a magical sound from teacups collected from community, symbolises the act of sharing cultural knowledge. Embracing the tale of the past brings us to the present to gain better understanding for the future.

Both events are FREE but you need to book, as capacity is limited.
I'll be around in between if you want to grab lunch or tea and have a chat.
Please note a 'yes' RSVP does not reserve your place. You must book directly through the links above.
