Special Tea Tasting Event Happening At Popular Inwood Coffee Shop

INWOOD, NY — A popular Inwood coffee shop is hosting a Nepali tea tasting event on Sunday.

Buunni Coffee will host the founders of the Nepal Tea Collective within its location at 4961 Broadway.

The tasting will include five different teas ranging from white to herbal, and access to a 60-minute interactive event on the proper way to drink tea — followed by Himalayan dumplings.

Here are the teas that will be offered, as described by the Nepal Tea Collective:

• Kumari Gold: "A velvety cake-like sweetness will bring a smile to your face with every sip. With a pronounced caramel and brown sugar aroma that stirs into flavors of honey and baked fruits, this tea is a confectionery- like treat for you."
• White Prakash: "There’s a light playfulness of the fruity aromas along with an honest taste of dry muscatel grape notes. A hint of astringency gives it a unique end but fits perfectly with the toasty warmth of the drink."
• Nepali Breakfast: "With unique aromas from organic ingredients like ginger, cardamom, cinnamon and black pepper, Nepali Breakfast will invigorate your mornings."
• Ganesha Green: "It begins with an earthy grassy aroma. A few minutes and the flavors unfold into seaweeds of sweetness. Everything billows with a buttery bouquet."
• Kathmandu Cosmos: "Taste the fireworks of a myriad of spices like ginger, black cardamom, lemongrass, cinnamon leaves as well as orange peels without getting overwhelmed. Everything is a sweet lull that freshens up the palate for your dreams."

Tickets for the Inwood event cost $15, but come out to $17.74 after taxes and fees.
