Indulge in an engaging and educational experience with a top-tier tea specialist. Our online tea tasting class introduces you to the art of preparing and pouring different Chinese tea varieties. You'll get an overview of 6 categories of tea - green, white, yellow, oolong, black, and dark tea.

After choosing one tea (5g) for tasting, guests will guess its category and share their impressions with the group to build a tasting profile. Our tea master will demonstrate the brewing process and encourage guests to follow along.
