FROM KEVIN GASCOYNE

Hi NYTS Members,

Kevin here, very much looking forward to spending some time with you all on November 15th and sharing the 'tribal nectar’.

During the session, I will be tasting the 4 teas below and invite you to procure some in advance at camellia-sinensis.com for the pleasure of the shared experience and comparing notes

Obviously, you can buy as much tea as you like but if you prefer to keep it modest you can stick to sample sizes which would be enough for the activity.

(Don’t forget there is a $50 free shipping offer)

I have arranged a one-time promo-code that will give you a 20% discount on the order which will be sunny to you upon submitting your rsvp.

The 4 teas I will be drinking are:

1- Bai Rui Xiang Wulong Wuyi

2- Temi Sikkim SK85 Second Flush

3- Darjeeling Singell DJ5 First Flush
