Tea today is so much more than the traditional beverage of days gone by. Not only are there creative flavor choices available, but you don’t have to stop at simply drinking it … you can incorporate tea into many of your favorite recipes!

Over the years, we tried numerous brands and flavors of tea – some good, some bad. We used all kinds of tea – bags of dust, pouches of fannings, and infusers of loose leaf – in plain, flavored and blends. After all of this experimenting, we put together a menu of flavors that are fun, and certainly not like what Grandma served. This will not be your usual cup. Using top quality teas, herbs and spices, these flavor profiles will spark your own exploration of tea, both as a beverage and a recipe ingredient.

Along the way, we also developed and published the Tea Explorations Journal as a way for you to record tea tasting notes for both At-Home and Out & About Experiences.

You can browse a selection of loose teas right here on our site, but it’s more fun to participate in a Tea Tasting Adventure or cooking class! Be sure to check our Events Calendar for upcoming classes. If you live in the Kansas City metro area, we can also come to your home or office and share tea history, recipes and other tips with you and your friends, along with sampling a selection of flavors. It’s a fun experience for everyone.

NOTE: We’re in the process of moving our online classes to a different hosting platform. Please be patient – we’ll let you know as soon as this class is available again!

Life is a journey – so let the Adventure begin!
