Delighted to be speaking and slurping away at this year’s annual Toronto Tea Festival on behalf of our own JalamTeas.
A fierce tea drinker from the top of the world
January 30th’s talk “Puerh’s Roots – Caravan Fuel to Boutique Idol” will look at the ascent of the unique big leaf varietal that has appeased nomads and collectors alike for centuries.
Freshly made and shaped Puerh cakes…the tea that travelled to the top of the world.
January 31st’s talk “The Tea Caravans to the Top of the World” will focus on the trade routes that ushered tea into Tibet and beyond. The faces, the words and memories, and the landscapes of the Himalayas will feature…along with the Puerh leaves from Yunnan.
