Alchemy: The Myth of Puerh
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.
Pu-erh is often wrapped in legend. A tea of emperors. A tea that ages for decades. A tea said to transform the body and spirit. But beneath the myth lies something even more compelling.
In this immersive class we explore the living alchemy of Pu-erh. This is a tea shaped by time, fermentation, and careful craft. It is not rushed. It deepens. It evolves. It teaches us about patience, resilience, and the quiet power of transformation.
Together we will taste a curated selection of Sheng and Shou Pu-erh, discovering how harvest, processing, aging, and storage shape both flavor and feeling. From bright and mineral to dark and forested, from dried fruit and honey to cacao and earth, each cup reveals a different expression of depth.
This is a class about change. How leaves become something new. How time alters texture and aroma. How fermentation becomes a form of art. Through mindful tasting, conversation, and reflection, we will connect the myth of Pu-erh to our own cycles of growth and renewal.
Come curious. Leave grounded, warmed, and transformed.
