We had a wonderful time! Our Instructor from New Zealand (Gordy?) was phenomenal. He knew a huge amount about tea and was enthusiastic about teaching all of us. He loved answering g questions and was great at giving us tips and tricks. I would highly recommend. Great setting and just the right length.
Was a great tea experience. Lots of interesting history. Loved the comparison of the teas.
Had a very lovely time, the introduction to the history of twinings is very interesting. Definitely a fan of Mary Twinings now. The tasting was lovely did not know there were so many types of teas
This is great for tea fans! I learnt so much and Serena was amazing
Omg we learned so much! Super awesome experience. Totally exceeded what I was anticipating. Definitely worth the time and money!
It was interesting to learn the history of tea, and Britain's importation of it, and the importance of tea in in colonial GB. Alessandra, the instructor/guide was wonderful, and has a real appreciation for tea. I found the information about how each tea was cultivated and prepared to be too detailed. I think the course would be well-geared to someone who has a very distinguishing palate and who really appreciates the differences between a tea with a grassy taste, versus mossy. For me, many of the teas tasted so similar. But I am glad I went and I learned a good amount.
Wonderful and knowledgeable instructor. Exceeded expectations.
So interesting. I learned alot.
Lovely afternoon learning about and enjoying tea! We learned how tea is harvested and how subtle nuances change the color and flavor of my favorite beverage. If you’re looking for a formal “high tea” with all of the sandwiches and scones and pastries, go somewhere else and drink English Breakfast tea and munch away. (Having said that, I do wish that Twinings gave you a few more biscuits!). As an educational experience, the Master Class was wonderful. It was a small, intimate experience in an historic setting. The master tea class is downstairs. I don’t think that it is accessible by lift, but I might be wrong. On the main level, Twinings does offer free tastings, however.
This one a highlight of my trip to London. One of the Senior Brand Ambassadors (Liam) expertly walked us through the history of tea, providing essential context for the sampling portion. Liam was brilliant, charismatic, passionate, and everything I expected from a premium experience.
