Private Aged Tea Tasting (1-4 guests)

Are you looking for a fun, inclusive, and delicious tasting event for your friends and family?

We highly recommend our Aged Tea Tasting class, where you deep-dive into the world of aged tea and explore your new favorite tea. 

During this 1-hour tasting session, you and your guests will

• Learn about the history and making of aged tea
• Correctly brew aged tea
• Taste 3 different aged teas

You will also notice the nuances and flavors of these teas that make them unique. 

Each attendee will receive a tasting kit, which includes the following 3 aged teas, as part of this tasting experience:

• [Bulang 2017] Raw Pu'er (0.35oz)
  
• [Menghai 2009] Old Tree Ripe Pu'er (0.35oz)
• [Fuding 2015] White Peony (0.35oz)
  

This kit does not include teaware. But should you wish to add teaware to your tea experience, we recommend the Gaiwan Brewing Technique workshop (below).  

 

Private Gaiwan Brewing Technique (1-4 guests)

We receive a lot of “I am a beginner pu-erh tea drinker. Which tea do you recommend?” questions. 

And we respond with this question instead: “How are you currently BREWING your tea?”

Even with a $1,000 tea, if it’s not properly brewed, you’d be wasting your time and money.

And if you are not brewing aged tea using a Gaiwan, we highly recommend our Gaiwan Brewing Technique workshop to help you enjoy the full potential of aged tea.

During this hands-on class, you and your guests will 

• Learn about the history and different types of Gaiwan
• Properly brew aged tea with a Gaiwan
• Taste the brewed aged tea

Each attendee will receive a brewing kit, which includes the following tea and teaware, as part of this tasting experience.

• [Bulang 2017] Raw Pu'er (1oz)
  
• Everyday Porcelain Gaiwan

This 1-hour workshop is our customers' favorite workshop as attendees walk away with a practical brewing technique for your future tea sessions!

 

Private BYO Tea Class (up to 15 guests)

This workshop is our most budget-friendly workshop as attendees BYO tea and teaware. You can choose from a range of other topics, such as

• Chinese Tea Ceremony
• Aged Tea 101
