Tea tasting for beginners

If you need your caffeine fix in the morning but find your coffee makes you feel more stressed, learning to brew your own tea might be for you. Taking the time to brew yourself a pot of loose leaf tea is the perfect way to invest a quiet moment in yourself, helping you meditate on the day to come while also lifting your mood. Plus, it’s pretty darn tasty!

If this sounds like the kind of thing you’d be into, but you don’t know your assam from your oolong, don’t worry - each of our tea workshops in SF are designed for newcomers to the world of handcrafted teas and tisanes. They also make for unique birthday party ideas, team-building activities or bridal showers with a difference - you might be surprised what you’ll learn about your pals through their taste in tea!

Your tea expert will serve as your guide through different varieties of tea, their tasting notes and how to pair them with other ingredients to achieve a unique, harmonious, and - above all - delicious cup. It’s the perfect way to learn how to brew tea, discover more about this ancient art, and bring a fresh new taste to your daily routine!

What to expect at San Francisco tea blending classes

On arrival at your tea master’s venue in the heart of the city, you’ll be greeted with an exquisite cup of one of their finest blends. They’ll give you some interesting tidbits about the history of tea craft as they walk you through the cupping notes of their blend, and how to open your mind to the possibility of new flavors through the tea tasting process.

Once you’ve given your senses a warmup, it’ll be time for you to rummage through their treasure trove of tempting ingredients to find your own signature flavor! Your resident brew guru will be on hand to offer their expert advice, tea tasting tips and even presentation techniques to help you get the perfect cup shot for your Instagram stories.

When the class is over, there’ll be an opportunity to kick back with your newly blended masterpiece and talk tea with your fellow newbies. Whether you’ve gone fresh and fruity or earthy and herbal, sharing your secrets is a sure way to pick up even more inspo to take home with you!

Blending your own tea is great for your wellbeing

A far cry from the electrifying caffeine hit a strong cup of coffee can give, brewing and sipping on tea is a more mellow, meditative experience. After measuring your ingredients and pouring from the kettle, you’ll have some time to reflect on the day - or the day to come - as you wait for the tea to infuse properly. Taking moments like this is brilliant for your mood as well as your memory, as you let your brain sort events out and give time to make sense of them.

When it’s finally time to drink, your personal tea blend will stimulate all your senses - from the warmth of your favorite cup in your hand to the gentle ebb of the steam to the enticing aroma. Then, of course, there’s the taste! At your San Francisco tea blending class, you’ll discover that different teas and ingredients can have much different properties. Some are more invigorating and fresh, while others relax and get you in a more contemplative mood. Whichever blend suits you, there’s no better way to treat yourself than to take some time out with tea.
