Thankyou to all who came and celebrated The Year of The Rabbit





The decorations that the coffee time families had made at Hoe St. Children's Centre over the past weeks cheered the tea party. Fans made during the day were paraded and used during the Fan dance with Sin Man. A meditative Tai Chi was enjoyed by all in the morning demonstrated By Aileen and Aaron.

In the Afternoon 1.30 - 2.45 Sin Man will be holding a workshop in traditional Chinese dance.

In Communi Tea tradition the delight of Tea will be celebrated Chinese style, by making Bubble tea. Bubble teas usually contain small tapioca balls or pearls called "boba". There are many variants of the drink, depending on types of tea used and ingredients added. The most popular kinds are "bubble black tea" (traditional Chinese: 泡沫紅茶; pinyin: pào mò hóng chá; literally "froth red tea"), "bubble green tea" (traditional Chinese: 泡沫綠茶; pinyin: pào mò lǜ chá), and "pearl milk tea" (traditional Chinese: 珍珠奶茶; pinyin: zhēn zhū nǎi chá).
