  • 5/5 from Diana Ochoa, attended Aug 2026: This lass was so fun and incredibly infomrative. The group had a wonderful time and would have stayed for at least another hour, they were so into what they learned.
  • 5/5 from Rohan Gupta, attended Aug 2026: Great time! Garret is very knowledgeable
  • 5/5 from Annie Chen, attended Jan 2026: I booked a tea workshop with Garrett for my birthday and everyone loved it! We got to try so many different tea’s, learned a lot about the different types of teas, use the Gaiwan ourselves to pour tea, and even got a pamphlet sheet of the different types of teas and caffeine levels. He also provided me a free gift for my birthday. I think my favorite was trying the 1989 puer tea and the duck shit tea. The King Fisher tea was a very popular one amongst everyone as well. He is very knowledgeable and answers any questions you ask him as well. Thank you Garrett it was a perfect way to celebrate my birthday!
  • 5/5 from Josiah Kelly, attended Feb 2025: The World of Teas: A Tea Tasting Voyage was an absolute delight, and much of that is thanks to the incredible expertise and passion of Garrett Wong. As our tea sommelier, Garrett guided us through an immersive and enriching journey, bringing centuries of tradition and culture to life through every sip. His deep knowledge—rooted in years of experience as a Peet’s District Trainer and esteemed tea professional—was evident in every detail, from his expert selection of rare teas to his insights into oxidation, terroir, and traditional brewing methods. The authentic Chinese tea ceremony was a mesmerizing highlight, and Garrett’s ability to connect history, science, and storytelling made the experience even more engaging. Not only was the tea itself exceptional, but Garrett’s warm and approachable teaching style made even the most intricate aspects of tea culture easy to understand and appreciate. Whether you were a seasoned tea connoisseur or a newcomer, you left with a newfound appreciation for the artistry and complexity of tea. A truly 5-star experience—thank you, Garrett, for making this such a memorable and enlightening event! Looking forward to more tea adventures in the future.
