Best of Asia Tea Tasting Class in London
Best of Asia Tea Tasting Class in London
Asian tea tasting class in London
Tea is the thread running through Chinese, Japanese and Korean culture. In this class you taste and compare the great teas of Asia, learning to look, smell and sip the way tea lovers do, from a delicate green tea to a rich, dark one.
After trying several tea tastings in London, we wanted one with depth, cultural context and a calm pace. So the Dear Asia team designed our own. Alongside the tasting, you’ll learn how tea is grown, made and served across Asia, and the etiquette and mindfulness that shape the tea table.
The Best of Asia Tea Tasting Class by Dear Asia is a beginner-friendly tea tasting class in London, held in small groups with a host guiding every step. You’ll taste a flight of Asian teas, so no experience is needed.
