Our Southeast Tea Affair

Reporting back on our first Southeast Tea Affair (SeTA: looking for extraterrestrial teas?), I am glad to say it was more than a success: it was a lot of fun!

First of all, a big dose of my gratitude to Jess and Duane of Aristeacrats for agreeing to host us. They have a great space in Downtown Lawrenceville, GA--comfortable and with the décor chic of a French country color palette. Also, thanks again to Bryan for the great photos below!

Everybody brought something to share. We started with a Taiwan gaoshan oolong I believe from San Lin Xi, and moved onto a 2000 Jin Chang Hao pu'er. 



Another tea chum took the wheel to brew a 2003 Changtai Hao Yiwu mini cake (very mild), and yet another took the wheel to brew an aged 1990s "harbor oolong," which was a hit. We finished off with some 1950s loose pu'er from Wistaria Tea House. 



After many infusions and feeling quite tea drunk, we parted ways.

Looking forward to next time! Feel free to comment here if you would like an invite in the future.
