The Alchemy of Pu-erh: An Immersive Tea Class

Step into the timeless world of pu-erh tea, where each leaf holds a story of transformation. In this immersive class, we’ll explore pu-erh as both a drink and a teacher—uncovering its wisdom through flavor, nature, history, and the art of mindful brewing. Together, we’ll journey through its alchemy of aging and change, discovering how tea mirrors the cycles of life and the rhythm of nature.

Inclusive Pricing

To foster an inclusive and supportive community, we offer a flexible payment model:

• $35 or $25, depending on what you can afford.

• A $15 tier is also available exclusively for BIPOC participants, as one small step toward addressing systemic inequities and ensuring all communities have access to this experience.

Your generosity helps create a circle of support where fairness, inclusion, and connection can thrive.

Guided by D’Guar Herrera

This class is led by D’Guar Herrera (they/them), a devoted student of tea based in Portland, Oregon. Their journey with tea began as a search for deeper meaning—until tea found them, offering secrets, mysteries, and spells. Rooted in a lineage of land stewards and earth listeners, D’Guar shares tea as a path toward self-discovery, community, and honoring the earth.

Giving Back

In the spirit of connection, $5 from each participant will be donated to Q Center, a nonprofit uplifting LGBTQ2SIA+ communities through resources, advocacy, and safe spaces. Just as tea invites us into presence, reflection, and belonging, Q Center offers vital support for queer and trans people to gather, heal, and thrive.

✨ Join us to sip, learn, and connect—with tea, with nature, and with each other.
