Revitalizing Chinese Tea in America

Fri, Oct 23 · 6:30 PM Valley Brook Tea · Dupont Circle

Join us for a traditional tea ceremony and a historical presentation on Chinese tea. When thinking of tea in America, many think of the Boston Tea Party, sweet tea, iced tea, and much more; but where does tea really come from? And how did it find itself in America? Join us to learn more and experience a traditional tea ceremony with Valley Brook Tea! Our Presenters Valley Brook Tea At Valley Brook, we are passionate about sharing the authentic Chinese tea and tea culture with our customers. A tea leaf’s journey begins with the environment that nourishes it ——a valley that regulates the sunlight a leaf receives, and a brook that flows through the field. As its name suggests, Valley Brook was founded with its own valley and brook. Headquartered in Fujian and Virginia, Valley Brook specializes in oolong tea, black tea and white tea. For generations, Valley Brook cultivates three precious tea mountains with some of the most celebrated tea makers in China. Valley Brook proudly preserves the traditional tea-making techniques. We grow, harvest, craft and package all products ourselves. This is why we are able to provide all of our customers with our exclusive “3W” guarantee . Tea is one of world’s oldest and best beverages. Chinese tea’s rich history and vast variety make it more difficult for people to genuinely enjoy and appreciate its quality. We at Valley Brook are committed to not only deliver the best of our products to our customers, but also educate the world through events with institutes, museums and cultural exchange. Our mission is committed to bring the wonderful world of tea culture to you. Yujin Lee Yujin Lee is a recent University of Maryland graduate and Chinese tea enthusiast. As a Chinese major, Yujin learned about the Chinese language and its culture. While studying abroad in Taiwan, she gained firsthand experience the joy of attending tea shops and the versitality of Chinese tea. Upon returning to campus, she started her own tea club to celebrate Chinese tea culture. She currently works as an admissions specialist for Columbia College in Virginia. Notice: Seats are very limited for this event! If you can no longer attend, please email us at [email protected] so we can open up the ticket for another person.

Welcome to AskAlice

Hi, I'm Alice.

I go out a lot around DC, Virginia and Maryland, and I got tired of losing hours to Instagram Stories and a dozen venue calendars just to find out what was happening. So I built this to do that watching for me — real, confirmed events pulled from hundreds of sources, sorted so you can find your night instead of hunting for it.
