Tea Blending and Tasting Classes, what to expect 


Our traditional tasting session will teach you all about different teas & blending herbs, how they are made, best enjoyed & their potential health benefits.


Starting the evening with a warm welcome & a tea-based cocktail or mocktail, you’ll then get the chance to try an exciting selection of tea blends as you learn about the art of tea blending.  Later in the evening, our expert Tea Mixologists will help you create three tea blends of your own to take home with you - each designed, named & packed by your very own hands!


What’s more, you’ll get 10% off everything in store all evening, so if you find some new faves you can save whilst topping up your tea cupboard.


Every attendee gets a goody bag to take home that contains some samples of our favourite tea blends & three empty 20g pouches for you to fill with your tea blends, all inside one of our cotton totes.

Underwhelmed by the blending

I had a wonderful evening with Frankie and Sophie. They were truely fantastic. I also enjoyed the free tea, as I could try a lot and decide which ones to buy. As for the content I was kind of disappointed about the content. Very much basic tea knowledge I already knew. Not much about blending, developing of flavors; how the flavorings and natural aromas are created.

Also the hands on blending was not what I was expected. There were black, green, white, mate, roibos, fruit and herbal tea bases and some basic additions like coconut, cloves, hibiscus, chai, orange peel, lemon peel, … but no aromas or special ingredients. So nothing I couldn‘t have done at home with stuff from my store cupboard.

So if you are just looking for a nice evening with lots of tea and shopping, or if you don‘t know that much about tea, then this is for you. But if you are expecting to dive into the topping of tea blending you will be underwhelmed.
