Recent reviews of Tea and Chocolate Pairing Workshop

  • 5/5 from Samantha Conte, attended Aug 2026: Very informative and interesting. Personal setting with just ourselves and the teacher which allows a lot of good conversation and time to answer questions. Would recommend to people interested in learning about tea origins and trying teas you may never have had the opportunity to try before.
  • 5/5 from Anushka Rajasekhar, attended Jun 2026: Katie was super knowledgeable and made the experience an amazing time.
  • 5/5 from Liz Semeniuk, attended May 2026: Great class! As someone beginning her tea journey, this class was an insightfully deep introduction to the complex world of world class teas. Loved it!!
  • 5/5 from Lydia Zakynthinou, attended May 2026: My good friends gifted me this 1.5h (more like 2h) workshop! I loved the experience. I drink a lot of tea and I love chocolate, but I am not a tea connoisseur. I've also kind of given up finding good tea since a specific company I knew closed, so I haven't tasted tea this flavorful in a while. We tasted 5 teas (green, white, oolong, black, pu'er), the last two paired with Dandelion chocolates. There were 5 of us overall, plus our teacher Jody. The atmosphere was great, we were all sitting on pillows around the table, while Jody explained the history and processing for the different kinds of teas and while pouring in our tasting cups. Each tea and even each steep gave out different flavors and aromas. This reminded me that tea has a huge culture and fans around it, similar if even more, as there is for wine and coffee. The last two pairings with the chocolate were also very nice, the combination brought up different flavors in both, but it wasn't even the highlight for me (and I love chocolate). I went ahead and bought 5 teas from Tap Twice Tea afterwards (without any pressure or marketing on Jody's part) and have gotten excited about tea again!
  • 5/5 from Guilherme Brunow Gomes, attended May 2026: This was such a pleasant experience, Jody was an amazing host. I left super excited to learn more about tea and try more.
  • 5/5 from Elizabeth Blanco Saenz, attended May 2026: Very engaging class. Jody was very knowledgeable and welcoming. We loved the experience.
  • 5/5 from Amy Wu, attended Apr 2026: This was such a fun class! So informative and learned so much more than I expected today. Jody is so knowledgeable and passionate about tea and made the whole experience so engaging. Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Catalily Marshall, attended Apr 2026: I got tickets to this workshop as a birthday gift for a friend and we both agree that we could not have been happier with the experience. Jody is incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and welcoming. We learned about the taste profiles of teas, experimented with how the tastes change with chocolate, and got to take tea home. It was delicious! We would attend the same workshop again and hope to attend other workshops by Tap Twice Tea in the future. Great gift for someone, experience to do with out of town guests, and/or treat to yourself if you are at all interested in learning more about tea! 10/10!!
  • 5/5 from Karen Tolva, attended Dec 2025: Instructor was knowledgeable, tea was delicious! I learned a lot!
  • 5/5 from Evana Croda, attended May 2025: We loved our tea tasting experience. Super informative and really fun. Highly recommended for any tea lover. Thank you!
  • 5/5 from Sindhu Giri, attended Jan 2025: Awesome experience centered around tea/chocolate history and tasting! Gordie is very experienced in the Chinese tradition of tea and gave us an array of teas to try - from light white teas to full-bodied Puer teas. It was also very valuable to have conversations around the ceremony, tools, and cultural transitions surrounding tea. I'd recommend this experience for tea novices and experts alike!

In Chinese tea ceremony, known as Gong Fu Cha (often translated as brewing tea with skill), when someone fills your tea cup, you tap twice on the tea table to offer gratitude. This is the source of our name: Tap Twice Tea. We formed in 2013 in the Mission District out of a love for tea and the community around tea drinking. At first, we only wanted to find good tea to share at tea gatherings with our fellow tea lovers, but that desire lead us to eventually begin traveling to tea farms throughout Asia to source the very best tea we could find and create a company out of it. We love teaching about the history of tea, how it is produced, tasting the different varieties, and showing folks how to brew the perfect cup. Let's taste some incredible tea together!
