Beyond the Brew: Tea as Traditional Chinese Medicine

Sunday, April 12 @ 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM

Tea is more than a comforting ritual—it is medicine in a cup. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), tea has long been used as a therapeutic tool to balance the body, calm the mind, and support long-term wellness. In this session, we’ll explore how TCM views tea not just by flavor or caffeine content, but by its temperature, energetics, and organ affinities. We’ll dive into how specific teas—from cooling chrysanthemum to digestive Pu-Erh—are used in clinical settings to address real health concerns. Whether you're a tea enthusiast or wellness seeker, you'll walk away with a deeper understanding of how ancient wisdom meets your daily brew.
