Clairvoyance: The Myth of Green 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.
This month at Cup of Tea, we’re taking a deeper look at one of the world’s most beloved and often misunderstood tea categories: green tea.
Many people think they know green tea. They expect something grassy, vegetal, or simply “healthy.” But green tea is far more diverse than its reputation suggests. Depending on where it is grown and how it is crafted, it can be buttery, nutty, floral, sweet, savory, toasted, or refreshingly crisp.
Join us for one of our Green Tea Workshops this month as we explore a curated flight of exceptional teas from Japan and beyond. You may discover the chestnut-like richness of Dragonwell, the bright freshness of Mao Feng, the comforting roasted notes of Hojicha, or the deep umami character found in Japanese green teas.
Together, we’ll uncover the myths surrounding green tea, learn how processing shapes flavor, and experience the remarkable range hidden within a category many people assume is simple.
Whether you’re new to green tea or already a devoted fan, this workshop offers a chance to slow down, taste thoughtfully, and perhaps discover a new favorite along the way.
Sometimes the greatest revelations come from the teas we thought we already understood.
