Virtual Chinese Tea Tasting

FAQs
1. What can I expect from Virtual Chinese Tea Tasting?

Experience an engaging and informative session with a top tea expert. Our online tea tasting class introduces you to the art of preparing and pouring various Chinese teas. You’ll learn about six categories of tea - green, white, yellow, oolong, black, and dark tea.

After choosing one tea (5g) to taste, guests will guess which category it belongs to and share their impressions with the group to build a tasting profile. Our tea master will show you how to brew the tea and encourage you to try it yourself.

Online guests will also see photos of the tea garden where the tea is grown, maps of the locations, and learn the key steps in tea production. Our knowledgeable host will also discuss the history and health benefits of the teas and recommend which tea to drink according to the season and time of day.
