When I was in high school, my best friend and I started Tea Club. Once a week, the outcasts of the high school cliques would gather together to drink a new tea in a welcoming space that would devolve into utter chaos, as most high school gatherings left unattended by adults would. I will always love and appreciate tea, which is why I’m excited for Tea 101 Class & Tasting, taking place at The Fragrant Leaf (3207 Silver Ave. SE) on Sunday, Mar. 1 from 2pm to 4pm. At the cost of $20 per person, you’ll be able to try five styles of tea with light snacks included. There is very little in this world that is as calming and re-centering of an experience as sitting down with a proper cuppa and letting yourself breathe. For more information on attending this event, contact The Fragrant Leaf at (505) 255-0522.
