| - Maggie is from Poland, and man, does she LOVE tea! I attended the Tea Class last night after purchasing a groupon. The lovely @Aja J. had bought me a fancy tea cup with an infuser after a trip to China. I've always wanted to try it, but after some internet research on loose tea, I gave up - I had so many questions...how long to brew? how much to use? where to buy? All this and more was answered by the enthusiastic Maggie, her husband, and son, Frank.
The class lasts about an hour followed by a tasting. We heard all about the history of tea, learned about the different types of teas and non-teas (you'll have to take the class to find out what I mean!), and best brewing techniques. We also sampled 6 different types of hot tea and imported cookies.
Maggie's has an IMMENSE selection of teas, including loose teas, along with everything you could ever want associated with the tea process. She even gave everyone attending the class a ten percent discount off her already reasonable prices, plus a goodie bag. I enjoyed my first cup of Sweet Spice Mate today in the cup from @Aja J., and I know I'll be back to Maggie for more loose tea.
I highly recommend the tea class; fun, informative, and unique. Maggie, her husband, and son also had us in stitches most of the class. For only 15 bones regular price, it's for-sure worth it.
