ITMA Tea Appreciation Session

Dear ITMA Member,

ITMA Tea Appreciation Session
17 June 2011 (Friday), 4:30 – 6:30 pm @ Tea Chapter

Humans have known about the consumption of tea and its health benefits for centuries. But few know about the culture and differences between the various types of tea.

This upcoming activity takes our members (and their friends) into a deeper understanding and appreciation of “Tea”.

On the 17^th June 2011, we will hold a Tea Appreciation session at the Tea Chapter from 4.30 to 6.30 pm. We will be taught by experts in this field during a 1 hour session, before gaining some hands-on experience making and drinking your own tea.

Location of Tea Chapter:  9 Neil Road Singapore 088808.
