The six sittings the room runs, and what each one opens
The six sittings the room runs, and what each one opens
Every sitting has its own length, its own leaf and its own table size. The assistant books from this list rather than inventing a session that is not running this month.
| Code | What it is | What it covers | Plan | Turnaround |
|---|---|---|---|---|
YH-SPR | Spring green sitting | Ninety minutes across three greens from this year's pick, brewed side by side at the temperature each one actually wants rather than one kettle for all three. | Anyone, no experience assumed | Runs Thursday to Sunday while the spring stock lasts |
YH-OOL | Oolong through the day | Two hours and nine infusions of a single rolled oolong, watching it change — the sitting people book again. | Anyone | Saturdays, twice a day, all year |
YH-PUE | Aged and pressed | Ninety minutes on compressed tea: how a cake is broken, what fifteen years does, and what an honest storage history looks like on paper. | Anyone; the room suggests a green sitting first | First and third Friday evenings |
YH-BUY | Buyer's table | Three hours with the buying office: this season's lots side by side with prices, yields and what the room would not buy, and why. | Buyer's table members and trade | Monthly, by arrangement, two weeks notice |
YH-PRIV | Private table | The whole back room for up to eight, with a list built around what the group has and has not drunk before. | Booked whole, any membership | Ten days notice; weekday evenings only |
YH-BEG | First hour | A short, deliberately unintimidating sitting for people who have never done this: four teas, plain language, no ceremony to get wrong. | Anyone | Wednesday and Sunday afternoons, weekly |
The assistant reads this same table through its list_services tool, so what it tells you and what this page says cannot drift apart.
