oh-my-YES!

Tea Sommelier.
Vue de Monde.
Tea Cupping Classes.
Green, White, Black, Oolong, Puerh.
Three course meal.

Yes!

I know that most 20-somethings spend their Saturday mornings hungover and sauntering up Brunswick Street in search of a recovery brunch, but to this 20-something a Tea Cupping Class at Bistro Vue sounds one million times better. Bizarrely enough, I actually met Vue's Tea Sommelier, Charlie, weeks ago when he stopped by work in search of Matcha and a chawan. I had no idea he had these classes up his sleeve though, and after I found out about them today I've thought of little else. History, production, brewing techniques - each session involves a detailed tea and home wares talk, before finishing with a three course lunch served with matching teas.

I know it's daggy and that I'm letting my age demographic down, but for me this sounds like a magical way to spend the morning. If a guy were to take me to one of these on a date, I would seriously be putty in his hands. It's just such an amazing concept for a Saturday lunch.
