APCC Announces Tea Ceremony Class Series for 2010

 

 The Tea Ceremony provides a time-honored way of meditation to find inner peace, relaxation and harmony with nature. People in contemporary societies usually hastily order a cup of coffee at Starbucks, then rush out to go to work or run errands with their cups in hand without appreciating the essence. However, in Korea, China and Japan, they approach and enjoy tea with relaxation in mind. Learn about the history, the wide spectrum of teas, and the manners of drinking tea in each of these cultures.

Asian Pacific Cultural Center (APCC) would like to invite you to our Tea Ceremony classes. Save

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle makes a passionate case for putting the kitchen back at the center of family life and diversified farms at the center of the American diet. This is the 8th book to be selected for the Tacoma Reads Together project, which began following the tragic events of September 11, 2001. For more information on Tacoma Reads Together is available on the Tacoma Public Library website.

Asia Pacific Cultural Center will bring an Asian ingredient to the Tacoma Reads project with a tour of Boo Han Asian Market.

The sights, sounds and scents are different. Get an insider's guide to a vast array of meats, fruits, vegetables, noodles, tofu, rice, and delicacies.
