      Tapestry Chinese Tea Brewing Class

      introduction to gaiwan tea brewing. This session covered an overview of this traditional brewing vessel and how to brew tea, from the amount of tea, the time to brew the tea, the pleasure of smelling the tea at different stages (dry, wet, on the lid, in the bowl and in the cup) and how the scents chance, as well as how to hold the vessels. I learned that porcelain is the best material to not alter the flavor of the tea. I love my new tea set and have enjoyed this experience. I will continue to use the set, and look forward to trying different teas. The session was all I hoped it to be!

      Dear Dawn,

      Thank you for sharing your wonderful feedback! At Mansa Tea, we believe that learning to use a gaiwan opens up an entirely new world of tea appreciation - from understanding the subtle art of timing and proportions to experiencing how the aromas evolve throughout the brewing process. There's something wonderful about learning these traditional principles that have been refined over centuries, and it sounds like you truly embraced the full sensory journey - from the dry leaves to the final cup. We're honored that the experience met all your hopes and expectations, and we're excited that you'll continue exploring different teas with your new set.

      Warm regards,
      Mansa Tea Team

      Teas were diverse and rich in flavors. The honey really enhanced the flavor of each tea.
