Intro to the Myth of Tea Workshop
Cup of Tea | 10117 SE Sunnyside Rd Suite J, Clackamas, Oregon 97105
D’Guar Herrera (They/Them) is a tea student and guide for this workshop series. They approach tea as more than just a beverage; for them, tea is a practice of connection, presence, and personal exploration. D’Guar aims to cultivate a safe and welcoming space where participants can deepen their relationship with tea in profound and meaningful ways.
Black tea is often misunderstood. A tea of strength. A morning ritual. A familiar cup many think they already know. But beneath that familiarity lies something far more layered.
In this immersive class we explore the quiet intrigue of black tea, a tea shaped by oxidation, craft, and origin. Though often bold in character, black tea holds remarkable range, from bright and floral to malty, fruity, honeyed, or deeply comforting. It is a tea that invites attention, revealing complexity with every steeping.
Together we will taste a curated selection of black teas from different regions, discovering how cultivar, climate, harvest, and processing shape both flavor and feeling. From brisk and coppery to smooth and rich, from notes of stone fruit and cacao to spice and warm grain, each cup offers a different expression of depth.
