But how am I to include it in a presentation if I cannot know what it is?

You're cunning, I'm sure you'll find a way. 3nodding

Pish. Can you give any suggestions as to what I might include in my workshop?  

[Thialona]

Will you teach about green and white teas as well as black?
What is SummerStar? Also what are teasans? Is that just herbal teas? Sorry for all the questions. Good luck with your workshop!  

[Hybrid Jewel]

Yeah, teasans are the technical name for herbal teas that don't have any actual tea in them.

Actually, I am more likely to focus on greens and whites- I like them better.

Herbal infusions.
Tea is made from two specific plants.

Excellent, thanks for the info! I prefer green and white teas also. Is red tea actually tea?

Well, as I recall...
There was a time...
When the art of growing Tea was considered somewhere between Geomancy (Feng shui to get the propper growth) and Alchemy (propper steeping, drying, ect).
Also, go into some of the Beverage's Mytho-history, include legends where the drink is prominent, along with a serving of the type of Tea it likely was.

Red tea is a teasan. It doesn't come from the actual tea plant camellia sinensis, but from a South African bush called rooibos (I've heard it's pronounced "roy-bus"). The blend I have, Madagascar vanilla red, by Celestial Seasonings, tastes a little like maple syrup to me, but that could just be some odd combination of the vanilla flavoring and the red tea.

For me it depends on my mood.

Not completely accurate.

Do note that both Camellia sinesis and Camellia assamica are "tea" and that in some Asian countries, they call "black teas" "red teas", because instead of naming it from the dried color of the leaf, they name it by the color of the infusion.

However- you are correct in that Rooibos is not a tea.

Indeed.

Hey- if folks want to hit SummerStar, I'd be happy to hang out with any who show. Bonus points for folks who attend the workshop!

I intend to include the legends behind Cha Quan Yin and Dragon Well, as well as the references to the early Emperor who happened upon the drink.

Any others you could suggest?

I'm sure someone will take pictures.

However- there are at least two people flying over from the UK.

It is a bit off... but tea's power to cause international stryfe... all the way from the (commonly known as) Opium Wars, to the Party in Boston.
