Greenville Public Library
Tea Ceremony at Library
Jesse Berry from Blue Lantern Tea will demonstrate a traditional
Chinese Tea Ceremony at the Greenville Public Library on Thursday
January 23rd at 6:00 p.m. He will talk about the history and
culture of tea as well as the many health benefits. The ceremony
consists of the preparation and serving of tea - everyone will taste a
sample!
Jesse first discovered artisan quality tea through his Kung Fu
practice. He studied ten years to become a master or Sifu. Gung
Fu Tea is part of the Kung Fu culture and he was attracted to its
health benefits and philosophy.
As the study of tea was a natural addition to his interests, he began
extensive research, seeking books and online information from all over
the world. He also studied informally at a tea house in Columbus
Ohio as well as at tea houses in China during a trip in
2008.
Blue Lantern is located at 120 West Third Street, Greenville, and is
owned and operated by Jesse & wife Kim, along with the Young Forest
Martial Arts Academy which is behind the tea shop. For more info see

Blue Lantern carries a wide variety of teas from around the world such
as Chinese and Taiwanese Green Tea, Oolong Tea, Black Tea, White
Tea, Puer Tea, Japanese Green Tea and English Classics from India as
well as teaware.
