What is a bucket list?
The idea of a bucket list became popular by the Bucket List movie starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. It is a list you make with ideas about things you’d like to accomplish in your life time.
Though like the movie, many people fill it with big travel plans or they might wonder “What are the top 10 bucket list items?” It can also include simple and unique ideas that you’ve never tried before, but would like to experience.

Planning gives you the time and ability to get your ducks in a row so your attendance can be as smooth as possible. Consider factors such as transportation, lodging, tickets, and further costs for meals or activities related to the event.
Additionally, look at the schedule and try to set aside other commitments so there are no conflicts with attending the event. Planning ahead is key when it comes to enjoying successful events without any hiccups!

Going to a tea tasting is an amazing way to broaden your horizon and spread your knowledge about tea. Tastings can be very informative and open you up to new flavors and combinations you may have never even thought of before.

Learn about the regions it came from as well as to experience flavors from solo teas or blends. Taste a variety of teas while getting to know their history directly from knowledgeable participants- which is an experience that’s worth having.
