Can we start something?

Could it be time to transform this day, “Black Friday” from a shopping frenzy to something more healthful and peaceful? Can we reclaim a season of gratitude for harvest bounty by sharing a bit of tea and tea talk? T Ching has been promoting the healthfulness of tea for 14 years. And this year we were sponsors of the 2020 International Virtual Tea Festival, much of which is available throughout the holiday season.

If you would like to help us create a full-on Black Tea Friday for 2021, please send your ideas to Babette Donaldson (B.Donaldson@TeaSippersSociety.com) so that our tea loving community celebrate with this healthier alterntive.

While we may be frustrated with limitations on live gatherings and too much time on Zoom, one of the benefits for tea lovers is that much of the weekend festival is still available to enjoy at your leisure . . . like a long holiday weekend!

Discover hours of video, dozens of downloads and some great  wonderful new teas.
