 T&C Special Spring Event: Tea Brewing
Tea & Chocolate Club, sponsored by the Graduate Student Council, is hosting the first-ever tea brewing event, where you will learn more about loose-leaf teas and how to brew a perfect pot of tea! We will have the opportunity to sample a variety of teas together as we learn more about the process, and then each participant will get to brew their own tea.
The event will take place on Wednesday, February 26, 4-6pm. Spots are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. The location will be sent to those who register and confirm attendance since we have limited supplies for each person. Because of that, we ask you to sign up only if you can attend the full event and to please cancel your registration if you find out that you can't come after all.
We hope this will be a great opportunity to learn and grow together in our tea knowledge!
