Co-op Pouring

Last night we poured a few excellent teas in one of the living rooms at my co-op in Berkeley!  I gathered a few people who were completely new to the process and sat with a group of five or so.  First, we tried a Jasmine Pearl from China's Fujian Province.  It's so strong and fragrant!  Also, watching the small hand-rolled 'pearls' open up is so fun.  Then we had a Phoenix from Teance on 4th St.  It was super sweet.  We decided it had traces of apricot, peach, and especially honey.
