October Tea Meet

Dear Tea Friends
 
It was great to see everyone.  Lee Young Hee museum had a great event, and we got to see excellent art exhibition and taste wonderful Korean food.  The event was not really conducive to a sit down tea meet, so we will have to wait for November for our proper tea gathering.  However, we got to taste Master Chef Haelin Lee's traditional Korean food presentation and Ms. Won Ju Seo's wonderful art exhibit made of traditional Korean fabrics.  Ms. Won Ju Seo is fomer teacher at my Korean School of NJ, so it was great to see her blossoming art works that started while she was a teacher at the school.  Ms. Haelin Lee gave me a whole packet of Lotus Leaves as big as big fans.  So we shared among our tea members.  The leaves were simply deliciously fragrant.  I cannot wait to taste them at our next tea meet!
 
Our next meeting will be held at Lee Young Hee museun on November 9th, Wednesday, 6:30 pm.  See you there.
