My father was a tea connoisseur and so I grew up drinking the finest Indian tea.
I remember going tea shopping with him in Calcutta as a kid and it was a big ritual. The shops used to have large wooden boxes with various teas coming from Darjeeling and Assam and my father will ask, “ Dada, what’s the finest you got this time? Make me a blend.”
Appreciation is the 1st Step to understand, identify and brew a fine or specialty Tea. It’s also the process to fall in love with the art and science of what makes a fine tea, that teaches you how to use our 5 Senses to admire and appreciate this wonderful beverage.
With growing demand and love for this very special beverage globally, I invite you to join this 60 min workshop and learn about these arts & science with some of India’s finest teas that may cost more than a bottle of Champagne. Besides learning something new and fun, I promise you this workshop will change the way you look at this beloved beverage.
