This meeting will be online – Zoom link sent with mailchimp
This month’s meeting is ‘A Little Cup of History: From Tea to CreativiTEA – An interactive workshop’ with George Dunkerton (https://www.alittlecup.com/about) We will look at a selection of 4 tea blends, their stories and benefits, to think about how the flavours compare and contrast and what really goes into making a complex blend. These blends are mostly herbal, but with a couple of caffeinated options too. We will focus on blends that are great as iced teas and mocktails – and how these can become cocktails after dry January!
The four teas we will be drinking are
1) Coco-Chilli-Mint ( which can also be used in a cocktail to make a Mint-tini!)
2) Desert Island ( can also be used in a mulled wine)
3) Yes Maté ( can also be used in a hot toddy)
4) Lemon Grey ( can also be used in G&T)All WI members will receive samples of the above teas, delivered to doorsteps before Thursday by the committee elves. Non-members might like to buy their own so they can join in with the sampling and tasting at the meeting.
On Thursday evening, please make sure you have a kettle to hand (in a safe location!), 4 cups, a teaspoon and a little cold water for cooling hot tea.RESOLUTIONS: At our meeting on Thursday, we will also be voting for the 2022 national WI campaign – the five resolution options are:
