LAO TEA CLUB

This project is dedicated to all connoisseurs of quality tea. For many years, we have been studying the topic of aged teas and decided to create a separate direction in our educational program what we call "LAO TEA CLUB" and invite everyone to join us and plunge deeply into the world of aged tea. These are monthly meetings where we will brew and sort tea aged from several years to several decades. In the majority, of course, we will talk about Pu'er tea, famous factories, and their successful, and sometimes even legendary recipes. About what is the quality of such tea and how storage conditions affect such tea. What is the difference between plantation raw materials and raw materials plucked from wild old, and sometimes ancient, tea trees? We will develop taste, and the ability to understand many nuances associated with old tea.

Pu'er is a completely self-sufficient separate world in modern tea culture, which is becoming more and more popular. Our experience shows that there are non-tea people among the admirers of Pu'er tea, and this is not surprising, because this tea can surprise us with its diversity and give us an infinite number of tastes, emotions, and shades of states. In the homeland of this tea, it is treated as a healing drink that gives longevity and harmony. This is an amazing world of very unusual, deep tastes and tea states.

Meetings are held as comparative tastings of different teas, which helps to understand the differences and features of a particular tea. These meetings are suitable for both complete beginners and those who already have some experience but want to understand this topic and deepen their knowledge.

I invite everyone to join us and share with us this amazing journey through aromas, tastes, and states of the time. Try yourself as a tea taster, and develop your taste and senses. Right now we have once in a monthly meeting in the main showroom in Riga center, Latvia. If you want to join us feel free to write me at anshim.tea.collection@gmail.com to get more information!
