A major renovation at Lake Tahoe, a new bar headed to California Avenue, a brewing ownership shift, a 20-year anniversary, a sad goodbye, and a recent closure reflect the continued evolution of our local food-and-drink community.
This week’s feature stories turn to tea, examining the craft and cultural traditions behind enduring blends. One story steps inside a Reno tea shop to explore hand-blended loose-leaf teas, while another traces the history of yerba mate — from its Indigenous roots in South America to its role in daily ritual and gathering.
You’ll also find upcoming classes, festivals, and hands-on experiences taking place around the region.
