Want to learn more about the health benefits of tea, and experience new flavors and tastes from around the world?

Then check out the tea-tasting Aug. 27 at Grammie’s Pantry Tea Room and Gift Shop, 1126 Woodworth Road, Skaneateles. The program, which will run from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., will feature a presentation by Linda Smith, founder and owner of Divinitea, one of the nation’s first all-organic tea companies.

Smith will speak on “What You Ever Wanted to Know About Teas and Health But Were Afraid to Ask.” Eight teas will be sampled, including white tea, green tea, black tea, Oolong, Rooibos (South Africa), Yerba Mate (South America) and other herbals. Also featured will be iced teas and autumn teas.

The program includes a “cream tea”—scones, lemon curd, Devonshire cream, fruit cup marinated in sherry cream sauce, cheese spread and crackers.

Cost is $15, and reservations are requested. To reserve your spot, call 636-8111 by Aug. 25.
