Fabulous tea experience - A tea experience that will change your idea of tea. Our team expert( so sorry I forgot his name) was amazing. Passionate, informative and entertaining. We loved our experience trying and learning about new tea and the history of tea in a posh and comfortable setting. A must for anyone who drinks warm beverages.

Tea-tasting class - Thoroughly enjoyed the class. Very interesting history of tea through the ages. Good explanation of the different types of tea and what makes them different. Tasted six different tea types, some I had never tried before. Instructor was very knowledgeable and personable. Note that the area is not handicapped-accessible - a winding staircase to the tasting room with seating barstool height - this was the only downside to me.
