Event to share the long and short -- and stout -- of tea

There is oh-so-much more to tea than simply dunking a bag in a mug of hot water. "Discover Tea and Tea Tasting," to be hosted by the Voorheesville Public Library, will expand on that.

The event, scheduled for 7 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, March 8, will feature a "tea ambassador" from the Short and Stout Tea Company for a discussion on what tea is, its history, and how it is brewed. And, of course, there will be tea tasting.

As the event organizers ask, "Did you know that white, green, oolong and black tea all come from the same tea plant? Find out what happens after the leaves are plucked that makes all the difference."

Reservations for the event are requested. The Voorheesville Public Library is located at 51 School Road. Phone: (518) 765-2791. The Short and Stout tea lounge and bubble tea bar is located at 1736 Western Avenue in Guilderland. Phone: (518) 456-8327.
