Hello, Brent. Long time away. The event sounds like there is not a whole lot of good sampling. For $25, I would like to be drinking special, rare, .... not watching a tea ceremony or seeing British afternoon tea sets.
Cheers

Take a look at the cupping sessions. There is quite a bit there that looks interesting to me.
Having been to it before, I can say that last time I went, there was a good cross section of quality teas to sample.
Here in the midwest, this is about the best we can hope for

Now, I am jealous. Nothing that good happens close to me. Look forward to hearing of anything exciting.

Emmett's a good dude. I took a drive up his way to snag a black F2 pot a few months ago.
He's also got some solid Yixing for great prices at
