In case you are wondering, we will close at 4 PM on Christmas Eve, Friday the 24th, and will reopen on Tuesday, the 28th. Also, we will again close at 4 PM on New Year’s Eve, Friday the 31st, and will reopen on Tuesday, January 4th. We will still have mahjongg the weekend between Christmas and New Year’s at the regular time on Tuesday and Thursday. If you have any questions, please let us know.
Just in time for the holidays are a few new puer teas. We have four new mini-tuochas, including a green puer, and two new loose leaf green puers. If you’ve been eager to try some green puer but are hesitant to buy a whole cake, this is a great way to try some without having to make a big purchase. Plus we finally have our 2010 Taiwanese oolongs in. I’m enjoying the Dragon’s Fog right now, and it is well worth the wait. Just as delicious as I remember. Plus we have plenty of our new display tea sampler packs, which make great Christmas presents. We hope to see you at the teahouse soon.
Just in time for the holidays, we have some new 2010 teas in. The new teas include Qimens (Keemuns), Sencha, Lapsang Bohea, and Misty New Top. We should be getting more blacks, jasmines, and our Taiwanese oolongs in by early next week. It’s always fun to open fresh bags of tea. We’ll be featuring a number of them in our upcoming Friday tea tastings. Come and try!
Join us for a culinary adventure with tea! Suzanne Klein, owner of Zanitea Organic Tea Blends, will be coming in on Wednesday the 17th at 7 PM to talk about her explorations in the kitchen with Seven Cups teas. In this talk, you will learn tips for incorporating tea into your recipe repertoire. You will have the opportunity to sip and snack with Suzanne and discuss recipe ideas that will inspire you to think outside the teacup. This is a free event. Come early to get a good seat and a great pot of tea!
Our every other week tea ceremonies continue on Saturday, October 16th, at 2 PM. It will be the puer tea ceremony. This is a great way to try both green (raw) and black (ripe) puer, as well try a cooked black puer tea. You must call or stop in at the teahouse to reserve your space. Seating is limited so call soon.
The first batch of 2010 oolongs are in!! Right now I’m enjoying the new batch of Da Hong Pao, but I also enjoyed smelling Monkey-Picked, both Tie Guan Yin’s, and the Old Bush Shui Xian. Delicious! A number of them are on special this month, so it’s a great opportunity to stock up on some fresh oolongs. Also, the 2009 crops are now 25% off. I’m looking forward to trying more of them tomorrow.
Diet, stress, sun exposure, lifestyle habits, climate…all of these things and more take a toll on your skin. If you’re tired of looking tired, if you want to break up with your breakouts, if you want clean, soft, unlined, refreshed skin, you won’t want to miss this special presentation. Join Seven Cups manager Jennifer Hedrick in conjunction with Colorado Healing Centers and Backwoods Beauty for a talk and demonstration on Green Tea skin care and Chinese facial rejuvenation. Friday, October 29th at 6 PM come and learn what the Chinese have known for centuries. Your skin will thank you.
Price of admission is $2 for materials + a pot of tea!
Thanks to all of you who voted for us on the 7 News A-List. As you can see here, we were voted in the top 3 tier. This is the third year in a row that we’ve been in the top 3 and we greatly appreciate your support and votes. The field is getting bigger each year, so we’re happy we’re still up there. Even though more and more teahouses pop up every year, we are still proudly the only Chinese teahouse in Denver. Thanks again for your support!
Wednesday, October 20th at 7 PM Anyen Rinpoche, a Tibetan tulku, will introduce Dying with Confidence: A Tibetan Buddhist Guide to Preparing for Death. In this talk, Rinpoche gives practical information to those wanting to prepare for a spiritual death. Rinpoche encourages us to honestly look at both life and death, and to contemplate our impermanence deeply, in order to use the process of dying to further experience enlightenment, compassion, and a wise and fulfilling life in the here-and-now. This discussion is meant for all, so please feel free to join us whether or not you have any experience with Buddhism.
