UNSW Tea Society Visits The Tea Centre!

26 September 2013

Chai Night @The Tea Centre

Tea Society's second outing was to The Tea Centre in Sydney CBD for CHAI NIGHT where we broadened our knowledge on the wonders of tea. We learnt about the components of spicy, delicious Chai, the Who-What-When-Where-Why of its existence and were also given a live demonstration of its correct brewing techniques!

It was a huge success and enjoyed by all attendees!

UNSW Tea Society's First Outing!

22 August 2013

Green Tea Talk @TheTeaCentre!

Our first event was to the Tea Centre in Sydney CBD, where we attended a tea-talk about the wonders and history of Green Tea, presented by expert in the field, David Lyons.

The night involved tea tastings, discussions, Q&A, a historical overview of green tea, health benefits, and how different cultures experience green tea. 

It was a huge success and enjoyed by all attendees!

Testimonial of the Tea Outing:

Was amazing! We learnt so much about green tea, its origins, the different processes countries use to dry the leaves and hence the different flavours. We tasted sooooo much tea, including Dragon's Well (Lung Ching) and Gunpowder Tea from China, Gyokoro and Sencha from Japan, Australian Sencha, and Morning Flower Green Tea! It was really relaxed, more like a discussion at times, but mainly everyone was engaged in David Lyons amazing ability to bring Tea to life through his stories, experiences, and knowledge of tea history. Definitely recommend it to everyone, as everyone enjoyed the night.
