10:00 am - A Brew of Tales: A Novel Blend of Tea and Collaborative Storytelling
10:00 - 10:45 am, Melisande Morel
An exploration of tea's legacy and its power to connect us through shared storytelling. Sit down with us over a cup and learn about how stories shaped the development of tea, and foster connection between our sensations and ourselves as we shape a new story together. Listeners will be invited to sip one of our teas blends and participate in a collaborative storytelling experience as we examine the sensations and feelings of drinking a warm mug of tea, and use those experiences to craft a brand new tale from the Isles of Mycorzha.
