In conjunction with this exhibiton we held a \"Modern Tea Party\" where guests sipped tea from handcrafted teapots and cups. We learned about three types of tea, how to brew and serve them, and how to properly pair food with tea.

Alexis Siemons, noted Philadelphia tea consultant and enthusiast, lead the event. Alexis is certified in the Foundations of Tea by the Specialty Tea Institute and runs the popular blog teaspoons & petals. She has consulted for tea companies and teaches culinary tea classes. Thanks to Rishi-Tea for the three wonderful teas!
