Okay, all you pu-heads… the Pu-er workshop has been officially added to the roster! It is super limited in number of students so if you want to go, sign up soon!

Also coming soon is an oolong cupping class. :)

Can we switch classes? I had signed up for the tea mixing one before I knew this was going to be an option.

Yes, but just for Steepster folks. :)

So, with one month to go, we’ve added 2 more vendors, one of whom is a sponsor as well. Adventures With Tea is sponsoring and is also going to be at the festival to talk about their unique teas and their cooking with tea classes and Lucky Baby Tea is going to chat with folks about gongfu tea preparation and her mobile tea cart business!

The raffle items are stacking up and we have more door prizes than we know what to do with!

Gonna be a big event – if you are anywhere in the area, be sure you don’t miss out! :)

This is awesome. Thank you for doing this. I will volunteer if I can get the day off.

Hopefully everyone is excited :D
Since the fest ends at 4 and we’re in the barbecue heart of America (according to some folks), if anyone wants to meet at Joe’s Kansas City Bar-b-que at 6pm for a Steepster meetup, let’s do it!! :)

If a bunch of people end up being interested, let me know cause we might need to reserve a table or something :P

I am down like a rodeo clown!!!!

And don’t forget to ask for your Steepster sticker when you check in at registration!

SO I am busily making my schedule to make sure I see it all…and I realize I have a question (and since I might not be the only one it can’t hurt to ask here rather than just emailing you :P )

Anyway, with the tasting cafe…do we sign up to one cafe and just go to those tasting events, or is it just picking one event?

Also is there a limit to how many presentations we can go to?

Oh, and is it possible to sign up for events the day of?

You sign up for one tasting cafe session, not for the whole day at the cafe. If attendance is slow, we may allow 2 sign ups. Information will be at the cafe registration table.

No limit on presentations. :)

We had to cancel the workshops due to low sign ups so the only events you need to sign up for are the cafe sessions and you can only sign up for those at the festival.

Hope that answers questions! :)

You are awesome Nicole! I thought that was the case but wanted to check, hehe. I realized while fidgeting with my schedule that I might be doing things wrong…now to pick which one to go to…oh the decisions! Do I go to one that features one of my favorites, do I try something new?

This is going to be so epic!!!!!!!

Try some of the Jane Austen teas for me?

So, since sadly all of steepster could not come to the festival (so sad, I know) I am blogging about it, so you can share in my adventure!

Part one covers the presentations and tastings, part two will cover the vendors and my haul, part three will cover my experience as a whole and the afterparty which involved more tea, steepster people and of course KC BBQ ;)

woot! BBQ!

I really wish I could have come…sigh…

I wish I had been able to stay for the Steepster after party, but I had a cranky toddler in tow. I can’t wait to hear all about it!

Sorry I didn’t get the Steepster stickers at registration. Things were more insane than I anticipated and I lost track. :( I did meet at least one SteepsterPeep though!

It was nice to meet you :)

Nicole said

And you! We’ll have to share some BTTC tea soon. :)
