The Mindful Tea Experience

Monday, November 16
1-2 pm
Benjamin & Anna E. Wiesman Family Reception Room
JCC Members: $5
Non Member: $8
November’s featured tea: 
Wild Leaves
chocolate graham • redwood • marigold
A bespoke autumnal oolong blend featuring a rare Xiaozhong black tea varietal grown on the Ecological Preserve in Wuyi, China, Wild Leaves is inspired by bare rock and ancient trees, cold streams, morning mist and autumn wind. Notes of chocolate graham, redwood, dried cherry, steamed bun, and marigold. *Contains caffeine

The Mindful Tea Experience is a monthly gathering where we explore unique tea blends. Each month we’ll learn about the featured blend—its origins, flavors, and wellness benefits—while practicing simple mindfulness techniques designed to help us slow down, ground ourselves, and restore balance. Together we’ll sip, reflect, and connect in a calm and welcoming space. At the end of the event, you’ll take home a portion of the featured tea, a teacup of your own, and the mindfulness practices you experienced so you can continue the ritual at home.
