Have you always wanted to participate in a tea tasting session but not sure where to start? Tea tasting is a unique and interactive way to dive into the tea culture with friends, family, or colleagues together! It is a fun activity that allows you to learn something new, connect over fine exclusive tea, make great memories and gain tea knowledge to use it for life. Now that so many gatherings have moved online, you might wonder: how does a virtual tea tasting work and if this is an activity to participate in?  

Here are 5 things to consider when deciding to book a virtual tea tasting experience:

1. Virtual tea tasting events are safe

During this period where everyone is concerned about the COVID-19 outbreak, all of us have to rethink our usual routine and minimize exposure. A physical gathering now carries a risk, not only for you but also our tea masters. Right now, the safest option is to stay at home. But who says staying at home means we can't host parties or gatherings? A virtual tea tasting with our tea masters is the perfect stay-at-home activity! Your selected tea package will be delivered to your doorstep and you can learn the art of brewing with our tea masters just like you would in a regular tea tasting event. Even when the virus' current threat passes, virtual tea tastings don't require you to travel out of your way to our tea art centres - so now everyone can safely and conveniently participate virtually!  

2. Virtual tea tastings are a fun way to include everyone all over the country

With a virtual tea tasting, you can include everyone, no matter where they're located. This is a fantastic option for those of you who aren't able to travel and meetup for gatherings. With our virtual tea tastings, everyone is connected with the same tea and the shared experience and memories can reach across borders. A virtual tea tasting with a tea master is also a great way to connect remote work teams (the new office relaxing experience!) - or create a memorable date experience, no matter where your other half is.  

3. Virtual tea tastings are an excellent way to learn about tea.

We have hosted dozens of tea tastings over the years, and we can testify that the experience of learning about tea will not be negatively impacted even when we move online. In fact, this might be a more effective learning experience as this session will accommodate a maximum of 4 participants for a more intimate session. The fact that everyone will have their own fine teas during the tea tasting means you'll be able to experience brewing your tea together with our tea master. The session begins with the introduction of Puer tea with our tea masters before moving on to the art of tea brewing. You’ll learn how to describe tea and explore the influence of ageing on Puer Tea while enjoying a tea tasting session together.   

4. Virtual tea tastings are a fabulous way to explore different cultures while travel is on hold.

Brewing different types of tea is an excellent way to explore the different regions of the world at the comfort of your home... and you don't even need a passport! Without a doubt you'll be able to enjoy the wide flavor profiles of the different tea you brew during the tea tasting. We go in-dept about the tea leaves region itself, the culture and suggested pairings in our virtual tasting. Be prepared to treat your palate and imagination to an adventure!  

5. Virtual tea tastings are a great way to connect tea lovers online.

New to tea drinking? Come meet new tea friends when you join our virtual tea tastings. Our virtual tea tastings are well organized and structured with a host/moderator to keep everything flowing, making sure everyone is engaged and foster connection and interaction in a more organized way. Virtual tea tastings will give you a valuable online experience not only for tea knowledge and culture but also exchanging connections and culture along the way.
