• 5/5 from Simon Huang, attended Sep 2026: Amazing, you really can see the passion they have for tea! they stayed overtime to hang out with us and answer questions and help us with picking out the perfect blend. This is also coming from a non tea enthusiast!
• 5/5 from Lisa Khan, attended Jul 2026: Marlene is a tea artist and chemist. She has encyclopedic knowledge of tears, and translates that information with ease to create a very fun and artistic class experience. I have a list of people I am going to take their over time. I went with two other girlfriends to celebrate a birthday, and we left with wonderful tea blends that we each made under Marlene‘s guidance and named based on our blends. There was a couple that was part of our class, it’s a great idea for a date afternoon.
• 5/5 from Aleya Dolorfino, attended Jul 2026: Had so much fun during this class! The instructor was so excited and enthusiastic about her craft that you couldn't help but join in on her amazing energy! Would recommend this class even if you don't think you are a teacher person because I promise you'll still find something you enjoy whether that be your own custom tea blend or an experience to tell your friends about!
• 5/5 from Alexandria Flores, attended Jun 2026: My mom and I took Marlene’s tea blending class at Sips Global Teas, and we had such a wonderful experience! The class was fun, engaging, and incredibly informative. Marlene is an amazing teacher! Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she has a gift for making learning feel effortless. Before you know it, you've absorbed so much knowledge about tea, herbs, flavors, and blending techniques while having a great time. The class was hands-on, interactive, and perfect for both tea enthusiasts and complete beginners. Creating our own custom tea blends was such a unique and memorable experience. You can tell Marlene is truly passionate about what she does, and that passion shines through in every part of the class. If you're looking for a fun activity with friends or family, or just want to learn more about tea in a welcoming environment, I highly recommend taking one of Marlene’s classes. We left inspired, excited, and with delicious custom blends to enjoy at home!

• 5/5 from Jamie-Lee Liebenberg, attended Jul 2025: My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Sips Global Tea, and what a beautiful, soul nourishing experience it was! From the moment we stepped in, we felt so warmly welcomed and that warmth only grew thanks to the incredible Marlene. She is not only an exceptional mentor but a gentle guide who made the entire tea experience unforgettable. We were celebrating my husband's birthday, and Marlene went above and beyond to make it feel special. Her kindness, knowledge, and genuine passion for tea made the whole session feel intimate and joyful. We learned so much and felt deeply cared for, it was truly the highlight of our day. As a South African, I was overjoyed to find teas from home included in the selection. It brought such a comforting and nostalgic touch to the experience, like a warm hug from across the world. Thank you, Marlene and the Sips Global Tea team, for creating such a magical, welcoming space. We left with full hearts, smiles on our faces, and a newfound appreciation for tea. We absolutely loved it and will definitely be returning. With gratitude, Jamie & John
• 5/5 from Basheer Tome, attended Jun 2025: Marlene is so passionate about tea and was such a joy to have as a teacher!

• 5/5 from Danielle Sendaydiego, attended Sep 2024: Our bridal party had a thoroughly splendid time during Marlene's tea class! She welcomed us warmly, and set up the space so beautifully for our bride to be. I appreciated that she initiated a conversation with me ahead of time to prepare for the class and incorporate personalized and meaningful touches. Instruction was not only informative but also practical and fun! She ensured that everyone was equipped with the essentials and even provided tasty cheese and snacks. All in all, a wonderful experience thanks to our knowledgeable and gracious instructor, and of course, the plethora of delicious teas! The only difficult part was zeroing in on which teas to use for our blends. Thank you, Marlene, for a fabulous time!

• 5/5 from Anne Marie Stevens, attended Aug 2024: We had the tea class for a corporate event. Not only was my staff incredibly excited to attend the event, but it lived up to the hype. It was somehow both easy going but incredibly informative and hands on.
• 5/5 from Ronica Clark, attended Apr 2024: I really like this experience. I loved having my personal tea blend after the class.
• 5/5 from Gale Sukarom, attended Apr 2024: Learnt so much! The instructor, Marlene, is incredibly knowledgable, and gave us so much individualized guidance but also space to get creative. Worth the price, and so much fun.
• 5/5 from Yeun Joo Ching, attended Apr 2024: We were celebrating a birthday and decided to book a private class. The instructor was very accommodating and responsive. She was very knowledgeable and attentive. We were able to coordinate with the instructor to help make the room more decorative for our party. She provided tablecloths in the color of the birthday girl’s favorite color. She even had cheese and snacks for us to munch on! There were numerous tea selections and many of them were unique which made the experience even more special. The instructor helped guide us when needed to perfect our tea blend, and it was such a treat to take our personal blends home. We had a great time, and it was a fun and unique experience that we’d return to try again.
• 5/5 from Sarah Wootton, attended Mar 2024: We booked a tea tasting / blending class with Marlene for our annual kickoff. It was one of the most popular events! We learned a lot and got to take home our tea creations home, which was really memorable. Highly recommend you book this class!
• 4/5 from Cristina Mac, attended Feb 2024: The teacher was great-very knowledgeable and likeable. The only area that could use some improvement is the hot water. It needs to be a lot hotter, which would make a whole world of difference in the tea taste. Also, maybe have the intern come around and pour hot water more often.
• 5/5 from Ian Armstrong, attended Jan 2024: Fun and informative. They allowed us to use the whole tea shop as our sand box and we enjoyed experimenting with many different blends. Would highly recommend.
• 5/5 from Ann Hadden-Cornelius, attended Dec 2023: The experience was wonderful! The venue was beautifully prepared and the teacher was well supported. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and informative. Excellent handouts and variety of teas to experience. Offered stories, instructions, encouragement, gentle opinions, and ideas. Generous with time, experiences, resources, and all items needed for the best experience (including food to prepare our stomachs and try with our creations.) It was great how the experience also supported the other shops within the venue pulling the marketplace into another layer of the experience.
• 5/5 from Kyle Lian, attended Nov 2022: Absolutely fantastic class. Both Marlene and Jeannie were an absolute pleasure to work with and the participants thoroughly enjoyed the event. Thank you again!
