You're probably going to do this anyway, but have you considered presenting some of the folklore on the origins of tea-drinking the same way you've done in your "myths, legends, tales" thread?
Also, maybe if it's a small workshop, you could present your visitors with tea sachets, if that would be financially feasible. The New Tea Book, which I own, states that tea makes a fine potpourri if you blend a cup of green tea leaves with aromatic herbs (a chai-scented sachet included green cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon, a more relaxing blended a cup of loose tea leaves with chamomile and rose petals.) 1-2 teaspoons Orrisroot powder is used to fix the scent, and a bit of essential oil can be used as an enhancement.
If you feel like using this idea, I can send you the exact recipes.
I'm a tea drinker from way back, though I lean a bit toward teasans more than actual tea. This may sound like blasphemy to some people, but I hate coffee.

Fiddler>> What surprise?
JulieDoc You're probably going to do this anyway, but have you considered presenting some of the folklore on the origins of tea-drinking the same way you've done in your "myths, legends, tales" thread? Actually, I hadn't. Thank you!
Quote: Also, maybe if it's a small workshop, you could present your visitors with tea sachets, if that would be financially feasible. This one I had thought of. I plan to serve at least ten different teas- and have a few of each for guests to take with them.

Patch>> No offense Hun, but if it is in a bag, it isn't tea, it's floor sweepings.

Thank you! No problem! Happy to help! biggrin Quote: Quote: I'm a tea drinker from way back, though I lean a bit toward teasans more than actual tea. I know I respected you before- but now I adore you! Runs in my family. My mother's side is Southern, and we always have a pitcher of iced sweet tea around. I brew mine extra strong. Generally, though, I don't like iced tea sold in restaurants, especially not fast-food places. I have to agree with you about tea bags. While I can and do use them, loose leaf tastes much better, particularly a black blend that I buy fairly cheaply at a nearby Indian market. As an amateur herbalist, I've made some of my own teasans, but none of them taste as good as the commercial herbal teas. (likely because I have no artificial flavors to put in them.). I think I have gotten something related to tea for the last five or six years on Christmas or my birthday. Last was a tea press, which I love. I don't write much anymore, but there was a time when I couldn't without my cup of tea and a candle burning.
