      Successful team event

      Ashley provided a lot of education about aged tea. It was an hour surprisingly full of information that kept the whole team engaged. The tea was delightful and easy to make. We added another 30 minutes for the team to chat and connect after the hosted tea tasting concluded.

      Aged Tea 101 Workshop

      We had a guided aged tea workshop last week with my work team and it was so much fun! I never thought about tea in such a complex, historical way but Ashley really made the whole experience so interesting. The tea was also delicious and totally different than anything I had ever had before. Definitely recommend!

      Delightful and eye-opening

      I really loved this event. It was an enriching and tasteful experience. I enjoyed the entire workshop. Ashley gave us a great history lesson and opened my eyes to fermented tea.

      I'll be honest, I was tentative when I smelled the dry tea leaves. But, the brewed version of Earthy Pu-erh is delicious. It's light and has slight fragrant notes.

      Thanks Ashley for stopping by URI to culture us with aged tea!

      Rekindled my love for brewing loose aged tea

      I hadn't brewed tea like this in a long time and I appreciated hearing the history and details to support brewing the tea correctly.
