Event Overview

This fantastic follow up to our best-selling Tea 101 class delves into the finer details of tea. If Tea 101 whetted your appetite for the world's second most popular beverage (beaten only by water!), then Tea 202 will engage your senses and enlighten your mind.

Jackie, our certified Tea Specialist, will guide you on a journey through the world of tea. The class will feature an in-depth focus on the tea making process. You will also learn the basics of understanding the organoleptic experience of tea, honing your senses to better appreciate the nuances of tea. Tea preparation techniques will also be discussed so that you can make the perfect cup of tea at home! Throughout the class we will be tasting a selection of our finest loose leaf teas.

By the end of Tea 202 you will have a thorough knowledge of how tea is produced, how you can utilize your senses to enjoy it, and how to make it at home. Additionally, you will receive 10% off any loose leaf tea, teapots, and other tea accessories purchased that evening.

MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST

TOP RATED

I am a British expat running a tea merchant and cafe based in St. Louis, Missouri. I have been drinking tea since I was a child but it wasn't until I became an adult that I discovered that tea wasn't just about black tea in a teabag. For the past seven years I have operated The London Tea Room, a business started by my parents, and my love for tea has only grown. I have been teaching tea education classes for the past four years, and am certified as a Tea Specialist by the World Tea Academy. I am presently working on receiving official certification as a Tea Sommelier.

Both of the classes I have taken at the London Tea Room with Jackie have been excellent!
The class is held in the rear room of the shop. We were setup at tables setup around a screen with PowerPoint slides to share photos and information. As we learned how each type of tea was prepared and its different properties, they brought us a small cup of that tea to try and we discussed the taste. Jackie was very friendly and did a beautiful job of explaining how tea is grown and prepared and how this affects the taste. Very welcoming and accepting atmosphere for anyone to come and learn. I'm looking forward to returning for more classes.

A logical, more complete and detailed building on the Tea 101 class exploring how location, season, and manufacturing techniques create the unique flavors of tea. Sampling of 6 wonderful teas perfectly complemented the discussion.
