you're invited to steeped in beauty

Can you believe that September has skipped in and gracefully replaced summer sun with a cool breeze? I'm celebrating with a few cups of iced white chai (well, it's still pretty warm in Philadelphia).

As we begin to embrace fall, I find myself falling deeper and deeper in love with tea as  the crisp air has me craving pots of warming teas. So, I wanted to share this love and passion by inviting you to Steeped in Beauty, a tea and wellness event that I am leading with my friend and colleague, Jolene Hart (natural beauty expert). On September 12th (1-3pm), you are welcome to indulge in an afternoon of tea and natural skin care through interactive cooking demos and workshop sessions that highlight the impact of tea and natural beauty on health and wellness. Learn how to cook with tea (white chai smoothie, earl grey cookies, lavender simple syrup) and how to make your own tea inspired beauty treatments.

Beyond the tea and healthy treats prepared during the interactive cooking demos, guests will sample treats provided by Sweet Freedom, Philadelphia's first and only completely gluten-free, vegan, allergen-friendly bakery. The lovely flower shop, Poppy, will be sharing a few of their delicate arrangements with us (one will even be nestled in a tea pot! hooray!).

Gift bags with our recipes, natural beauty samples, Rishi's white detox tea/green oolong tea and other goodies are included. All guests will be entered to win one of several raffle prizes, including a personal health and beauty coaching session with Jolene, a tea party consultation with me, a haiku teacup from teaspoons & petals, a pint of Nectarine-Lime jam from Marisa McClellan from Food In Jars, gift certificates to Tbar, a tea & tea documentary film package from The Meaning Of Tea, and a wellness vacation consultation session with professional travel planner, Maya Northen.

I hope you will join me in learning a bit more about how and why its so very special to have tea in our lives. Looking forward to seeing some friendly faces as we sip, cook and talk tea.

That would be great, Alexis. I am looking for tea folks in NYC. (I reached out to the In Pursuit of Tea's Crosby Street tea shop to co-host a PARK(ing) Day tea garden park but have not received a response.)

What a lovely idea for a tea event in NYC! Maybe a tea picnic in central park?

Lovely idea!
