Tea Workshop at the Kellogg Estate

Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) invites Downton Abbey fans and others who enjoy the taste of fruit-flavored teas and delicious herbal blends to a Victorian tea workshop at the Kellogg Environmental Center in Derby, on Saturday, July 8, from 1:00 - 2:30 p.m.
The tea workshop begins at the Kellogg Environmental Center where visitors will learn the difference between the types of tea services and the “do’s and don'ts” of Victorian tea etiquette, followed by a special presentation on making tea blends using various herbs and “true teas.”  At the end of the program, visitors may tour the Osborne Homestead Museum where lovely antique tea sets will be on display. 
Refreshments will be provided.  The workshop fee is $5, and visitors can take home handcrafted teas.  Space for the workshop is limited so please call (203) 734-2513 or email donna.kingston@ct.gov to register.
The Kellogg Environmental Center and Osborne Homestead Museum are located off Route 34 on 500 Hawthorne Avenue in Derby.  The Kellogg Environmental Center is open 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. The Osborne Homestead Museum is open for guided tours on Thursdays and Fridays from 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. -  4:00 p.m., and Sundays from 12:00 noon - 4:00 p.m.
