African Sunset Tisane – Sipping Streams

Sipping Streams Tea Co.

Fairbanks, the largest city “Farthest North” in Alaska, finds long days drenched in dusk and bone chilling cold in the winter months. The community finds one of the season’s best comforts in hot, comforting concoctions, and a modern, serene environment to gather. Tucked in a cozy and inviting environment with fresh, unique, and tempting treats, Sipping Streams Tea Company delivers on demand to a culinary niche.

Owner, Jenny Tse, conducts monthly tea classes at the shop, or at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. Participants learn about the origins of tea, differences in tea qualities, the complexities of tea flavors, tea pairing with food, and the medicinal qualities of tea. Similar to a wine-tasting class, tea is the new art in beverage consumption and the answer to otherwise bored coffee drinkers looking for a new indulgence –just don’t call the tea house a café!
