Fun and informative! It started right on time. There was about an hour of a detailed review of the history of tea and the world, really. Then we did another hour of tea tasting. It was in a quiet room at the bottom of the shop. After the session we had time to browse and 10% off our purchase which was fun too!
We really enjoyed it! Fun and educational
Serena was our teacher/leader for the group of 5. She was very knowledgeable, very interactive with the group, presented her craft with great confidence and joy. She had some ‘out of left field’ questions and had an answer for them all. Highly recommend her!!
History portion was a bit dry and long. I wanted to learn more about the blending process and not just the history of tea. The whole thought could’ve been better organized. A fun touch would’ve been if they gave you a couple teabags from different blends for the price you pay.
I learned a lot about the history if tea, our teacher spent a lot of time explaining the various types of teas
Pei was knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She created a warm and educational atmosphere. My husband and I both walked away saying how much we enjoyed the class.
Very nice experience. Learned a lot about the history of tea. Nice shop. Everyone very friendly and helpful. Tried six different teas.
The lady who guided us through the history of tea and tea tasting was fantastic. She was friendly and took care of us very well. Most fun part was tasting. We tried 5 different types of tea. White tea and yellow tea were my first time to try and both amazing discovery. We enjoyed sharing our own idea about the flavor, the aroma, and the memories coming from the tea. Throughout the experience, our guide made comfortable atmosphere and made our experience special. Highly recommend
Very informative. Small group (up to 5 persons). It is quite an experience to learn the history of the tea and Twining followed by tea tasting. Very recommended, if you love tea and history.
Loved my Twinings visit! I enjoy tea, but am no tea expert and still found this experience really enjoyable. The first half was the history of Twinings and tea generally and the second half was tastings. I learned a lot! (And that it had AC during the heat wave didn't hurt)
