Step into the wild and explore the rich, ancient world of Chinese tea with an unforgettable Wild Tea tasting hosted by Shunyu Huang of Wild Flavors Tea on Oct. 20, 2024 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Rosewood Market.
Discover the essence of nature in every sip
In this drop-in event, you’ll immerse yourself in the art and tradition of Chinese tea, tasting and learning about Red Tea (紅茶), Oolong (烏龍茶), and White Tea (白茶). Each tea tells a story, not just in flavor but in its connection to the land it comes from.
Through Shunyu’s guidance, we’ll explore how the geography and culture of these regions shape the essence of the tea, giving us a deeper understanding of the earth and the people who cultivate it.
Meet your guide: Shunyu Huang
Shunyu Huang was born and raised in the city of Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, where tea is more than a drink — it’s a way of life. Growing up with the daily tradition of ripe Pu’er and the rich Gongfu Cha culture woven into the very fabric of her neighborhood, Shunyu’s love for tea began early.
In 2024, her passion led her on a journey to eastern Guangdong, where she rediscovered the ancient art of tea-making, seeking out wild tea trees to bring their stories to new audiences.
Today, Shunyu travels the Asheville area with her mobile tea table, sharing the depth and history of wild Chinese teas at farmers markets and community events. Her mission is to invite people into the world of tea as she knows it — full of life, culture, and connection.
