Tea Festival.
This year's program will include a wide range of topics

year's presentations. There will be something for everyone - from the
beginner to the experienced tea drinker, you will find a wide range
of subjects that will expand you knowledge about and enjoyment of tea.

planning process for the festival. You will work with tea people (always
a fun interesting group) and drink lots of fantastic tea (always a good
thing to do).

Tea Tasting – Northwest Tea Festival
2010
Expand your experience with tea.
This is a unique opportunity for you to learn about and
sample some to the best teas from all over the world.
Tea tasting leaders will demonstrate a variety
of tea preparation and presentation styles. There will be tasting
experiences geared for both beginner and experienced tea drinkers.
Participants will have ample opportunity to ask questions about tea. At
last year’s festival, the tea tasting sessions were a highlight
of the festival to all who participated.
The tasting sessions are free. Attendees just need a tasting cup
which can be obtained at festival registration. Seating is limited
and you can reserve a seat for a specific session of your choice by signing
up at the festival tasting booth sign-up area.
Tea tasting leaders will guide tasting sessions with 8 to 12 participants
lasting approximately 20 minutes.
Tasting sessions will be ongoing during both days of the festival.
Specific tasting presentations are currently being scheduled. There
will be signs listing the specific times and subjects of each session
on display at the festival tasting booth sign-up area.

is finalized)
