Very informative and ‘tea’rrific

Shaeron 15 January 2025

Yes, awful pun but the Tea Blending course was both informative (in terms of history and learning to identify tasting notes in teas) and great fun. The organisers are keen and involved tea drinkers. We got to taste several teas, and using a flavour wheel, identified both key and base notes. Then we got to blend our own teas, from a wide range of botanicals, with guidance from the organisers.

Customer Experience

Ruan is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable tea educator. We learnt so much about tea and was very surprised at the sheer amount and variety of tea you can blend. The class covers all of the 5 senses. Very educational and fun.

A tea-riffic experience!

Me and my partner received a voucher for the tea blending class for Christmas and it was an excellent experience. The workshop is run by a passionate funny and personable host who makes everything about tea interesting even if you're not an afficionado yourself. If you have even a passing interest in tea then you will have a phenomenal time
