Cold Brew Technique (Saturday, July 10, 2-3:15PM EST)

Do you make your cold brew by Googling “cold brew tea” or sticking to the SAME recipe for all your tea?

The problem is that online recipes tend to be too generic or too specific for the recipe to be helpful.

Different teas require different approaches to make the perfect pitcher of cold brew tea.

That’s why we created our Cold Brew Technique workshop, the ONLY iced tea class you’d ever need to confidently make cold brew tea using ANY TEA!

Our Cold Brew Technique workshop covers:

The #1 differentiator that determines different types of iced tea
How to create 3 drastically different batches of cold brew from the SAME TEA (and make them)
Full tasting notes so that you can taste tea like a PRO

Each attendee will receive the following in advance of the workshop as part of this tea experience:

[Bulang 2015] Raw Pu'er (1oz)
Empty tea bags

This workshop will be our ONLY cold brew event of the year, so secure your spot now!

Private Gaiwan Brewing Technique (1-4 guests)

Did you know that you can easily waste a $1,000 tea without a proper brewing technique?

If you are intimidated by brewing loose leaf tea, Gaiwan brewing can be the solution for you.

Learn to brew different types of tea without memorizing brewing parameters and water temperatures.
With our easy step-by-step process, learn how to use a Gaiwan properly without spills and finger burns.
With our 5-step tasting technique, enjoy the full potential loose tea leaves and taste more from the same tea (yes, from the same tea!)

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

[Yiwu 2018] Wild Lao 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 using the most versatile teaware!

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 (1oz)
[Menghai 2009] Old Tree Ripe Pu'er (1oz)
[Fuding 2015] White Peony (1oz)

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

No added fees. No service charge.

For private workshops, please note the following under Special Instructions upon checkout.

Desired date and time of the event (with lead time of 2 weeks)
Shipping addresses for tea kits
Email addresses of participants (for sharing Zoom and package tracking information)
