Teatrekkers could be seen last night at the first of our 2012 Winter Salon evenings. With a dozen friends we learned from Mary Lou and Robert Heiss (the authors of four really excellent books) just a tiny bit about Chinese teas: its origins, how and where what we were tasting was grown, how to brew […]
