Definitely worth it! - The history of tea is so interesting! I wasn’t sure what to expect when I signed up for this but I’m so glad I did. I learned so much about the history of tea and tried a nice variety, some of which I had never had. Time wise it was perfect. Long enough for a great experience, but not so long that it felt drawn out. The instructor really knew her tea and had a passion for it.

Fantastic guide and fun event! - Pei was amazing. As a self proclaimed tea nerd, she shared a wealth of information and made the class fun and interesting. I highly recommend this tour/class to anyone that loves tea - or even likes it just a bit. It was fascinating and fun.

I'm now a tea master - The tea class was quite informative and interactive. After learning about tea, we were given six samples to try. While we tried the samples, we were asked to describe what we were tasting. We were given some examples of words we could use to describe the tea. Excellent class overall

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.
