An informative and entertaining introduction to the world of tea specialties – suited for beginners and intermediate tea drinkers
With this virtual event, I am bringing my popular tea basics seminar to your kitchen table at home. What’s special: Instead of the usual tea tasting in the physical seminar, in this special format I invite the participants to bring their own teas and existing accessories and to ask individual questions. The other content around tea production, preparation, etc. is identical to the physical seminar «Basics: Journey into the World of Tea».
