Drinking tea as therapy has been done for almost 5,000 years in the Orient: what started as potent medicine evolved to a lifestyle beverage in time. In Japan this became the auspicious tea ceremony and in the UK, once black tea was popular, the classic “afternoon tea” ritual.
With our modern busy lives, not to mention world upheaval recently, there has never been a better time to embrace nourishing herbal infusions to support us. To literally de-stress us. Tea therapy or tea as medicine you might say. Teas can be full of organic herbs, vitamins and minerals, be hot or cold and delicious tasting.
Tea therapy uses the approach of Asian medicine placing an emphasis on understanding and preventing root causes of illnesses, rather than a “quick fix” focusing on treating symptoms.
There are blends known to help with depression, anxiety, bloating, IBS, stomach cramping, indigestion, PMS flushes and many more disorders but what we’ll focus on in this event is increasing our vitality by making a “de-stress” blend… and we’ll gift you a supply of the “Vitality” blend to take home!
Our educator for the evening is Amir Kamkar from Herbal Tea & Tonics. He calls himself the Herbal Tinkerer and he is a 7th generation herbalist. Whilst he’s done other things in his life – including coming to Australia from Iran as a telecommunications engineer – he’s really been around herbs his whole life. As a child he would pick the herbal flowers for his mother.
Whilst respecting thousands of years of history, Amir has a modern approach to tea therapy so that we may embrace the concepts and easily incorporate them into our 2021 lifestyle. 
Our venue is the delightful Brooks & Stain restaurant in Wilston. Whilst learning and making our herbal infusions, we’ll be sampling some delicious and indulgent healthy treats freshly prepared by chefs from local ingredients.

PEPPexperiences
As a Vitality Expert, Jo Hassan is on a mission to improve the vitality of people and organisations by sharing the idea of PEPPing Up. PEPP® means to live business and life through a lens of Purpose + Energy + Pleasure + Profit.
She started the PEPPexperience events in 2019 as a fun way of business networking where the focus was a different activity each time rather than the usual “And what do you do?” question as the starting point for meeting others.
This Tea Blending Workshop PEPPexperience event is the perfect combination of:
- learning via a hands-on workshop in a restaurant environment
- the pleasure of tasting both tea and delicious bite-sized treats
- meeting new people.
Like all our events, there will be pink-ness and playfulness to compliment the important and engaging subject.
We look forward to welcoming you!
