MATCHA : Tea & Spice : Thursday, September 4th
For all you Bay Area folk, swing by the Asian Art museum and check out this month's MATCHA event, Tea & Spice!MATCHA: Tea & Spice
Asian Art Museum
Thursday, September 4
5 to 9 pm
FREE with museum admission ($5 after 5 pm)
Still dusty from its annual trek to Burning Man, Tealchemy's
Tea Temple will be erected inside the Asian Art Museum for MATCHA.
Everyone can sip earthy tea inside this mammoth atmospheric communal
space, which celebrates the centuries-old nomadic trade and travel of
the silk routes. Elsewhere in the museum, taste teas from India,
Persia and Tibet (courtesy Samovar) or those along China's Tea and Horse Roads (courtesy Teance).
Discover how these different blends are brewed and grind your own spicy
chai (Indian tea), mortar and pestle style. Learn about tea and its
cultural influences, see art of the spice routes on a guided tour, and
view Power & Glory: Court Arts of China's Ming Dynasty before it closes (Sept. 21).
