What’s it all about?

Learn the art and science behind blending the perfectly balanced cup of tea. Set in Brunswick’s own tea atelier and guided by a qualified tea sommelier, join us as we experiment with different flavours, smells, and textures ultimately allowing you to design your own custom tea blend to test and take home.

What will we cover?

In this workshop everyone will make their own unique tea blend. We’ll also cover the following:

  • Brief overview of tea and tea blending theory
  • The basics of choosing the perfect tea base
  • Understanding flavours and combinations that work well in tea
  • Tea blending ingredients
  • Brewing guides for different teas
  • Practical experience with different herbs and spices
  • Smell tests and blind taste tests of blend creations
  • We will package your blend ready for you to take home at the end of the night

Who will be teaching?

As an avid tea drinker for many years, Anastasia has spent the past year immersed in the wonderful world of tea, increasing her “Tea-Q” daily with the guidance of tea sommelier Sarah de Witt. She loves nothing more than to share all she knows about tea, particularly about the intricate ways traditional teas are processed. When not in the Brunswick Tea Room, Anastasia is busy studying a Master of Environment, relying on the perfect tea to get her through.
