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 celebrating the bold, funky world of Pu-erh—a fermented tea that only gets better with time. Unlike other teas, Pu-erh undergoes a unique aging process that transforms its flavor into something earthy, rich, and deeply satisfying. There are two types: Sheng (raw), which matures slowly over years, and Shou (ripe), a smoother, darker brew created through faster fermentation. Each sip is a little journey—comforting, complex, and full of character.
We’re featuring some favorites, like our 2006 House Pu-erh, a mellow, woody Shou; the Haiwan Mini Brick, rich with a hint of vanilla; and the playful Sticky Rice Tou Cha, infused with the cozy aroma of rice. We also carry Sheng cakes for adventurous sippers. Whether you’re just getting into Pu-erh or a longtime fan, now’s the time to explore. Long live the funk.
