When the weather does not permit outdoor Wu-Wo, members gather to discuss and explore Chinese tea culture and practice different ways of brewing and tasting tea. The association frequently presents Wu-Wo tea ceremony to the public throughout the year. Our goal is to encourage the flowering of tea culture in the Pacific Northwest through appreciation of a gracious tea ceremony while enjoying a heartwarming cup of tea
