19th June – A Talk by Giles Oakley from Two Spoon Tea. “From Bush to Cup”
What makes a good cup of tea? Taste? Ingredients? Good company?
Science tells us it takes two to five minutes to brew the perfect cup of tea. But the experience and flavours we associate with this drink go back a long way and are steeped in traditions shaped over centuries. Legend has it that Chinese Emperor Shennong made the first cup of tea when a leaf from a nearby tree landed in a pot of boiling water back in 2737 BCE.
Giles has got 25 years worth of experience within the tea trade doing various roles, primarily as a buyer and blender. More at the meeting!
