Join us at Metal Culture for an inspiring tea workshop with Michael Zee, author and founder of SymmetryBreakfast

What does community taste like? In response to The Plant That Stowed Away, Tate Liverpool’s current display, create your own tea blend that reflects the flavours, tastes and migration stories of Liverpool. Discover connections between the city and its tea trading history.

This workshop, led by Michael Zee, explores different teas, spices and flavourings in a scouse version of "yum cha", the Cantonese morning meal with tea and dim sum. Are you a red or a blue? As you create your tea blends, you can choose either red or blue baozi (steamed dumplings) that represent the two sides of the city.

Email Emily.beswick@tate.org.uk to reserve your space. Limited spots available

Please note that this event will take place at Metal Culture, Edge Hill Station, Tunnel Road, Liverpool, L7 6ND.

Michael Zee is a cook, food photographer and writer. He grew up working in his father's Chinese and English chippies in Liverpool. He created the Instagram page SymmetryBreakfast and recently published his second cookbook, Zao Fan: Breakfast of China.
