Tea Training
Tea training introduces participants to diverse tea cultures and explains different tea types and their distinctions. We guide participants on various ways to prepare good brewed tea for both everyday use and special occasions. Training participants also receive a 10% discount on regular-priced store products after the tasting. The tea training lasts approximately 3 hours, followed by shopping time as needed by participants. Tea training can also be arranged in English.
Pre-ordered trainings can be tailored to the participants' interests. For example, the themed program can focus on flavored teas, Japanese teas, or various tea brewing methods. It is also possible for fewer than the minimum billing number of people to attend the event, but the minimum billing will remain the same.

Tea Tasting
In a tea tasting, you or your group will get to sample unflavored tea types brewed in a way that brings out their best qualities. You'll try four different teas, and you can influence the selection yourself. The tea tasting can also be included as part of a meeting or whatever else you can imagine. The tasting lasts about 2 hours. Like with tea training, you'll have shopping time in the tea shop after the tasting, with a 10% discount. A maximum of 10 people can participate in a tasting at one time.
Tea Tasting costs €25 per person
- Taste 4 freely chosen tea types
- Minimum billing 3 people = €75
- Can be arranged during and outside of the tea shop's opening hours

Make Your Own Tea
In the workshop, you get to create your completely own tea flavor from pure tea types, spices, and herbs. You'll get to taste your own and others' blends already during the making process, and the recipe will be refined together until you are satisfied with the result. Each participant receives 200g of their self-made tea and a written recipe, which can be used to order the same blend later.
Make Your Own Tea workshop costs €40 / person
- Create your completely own tea blend
- Taste and modify your own and others' tea blends
- Minimum billing 3 people = €120

Open Tea Trainings and Tastings:
If you want to participate in a tea training as an individual without a larger group, it is possible to join open tea trainings. The price and content of an open training are equivalent to a private one. The dates for open tea trainings are updated primarily in the newsletter and on this page, and later on Facebook and Instagram if there is still space in the training. Experience gift cards can be used for open tea trainings.
