Saturday, February 3rd @ 10:00 am POSTPONED
HIGH GALLERY
Acclaimed Helena artist Richard Notkin, who took the first of his five journeys to China to further study the Yixing teapots in 1991, will give a brief illustrated lecture about the history of Yixing and the development of the teapot. This will be followed by a tasting of fine Chinese green teas, such as oolongs, pouchongs and high mountain teas, utilizing fine Yixing teapots and other traditional implements. This tea-tasting is not to be confused with the Japanese tea ceremony, but is more akin to a western wine tasting. All attendees will have an opportunity to sample and compare different teas brewed by Richard.
