The Experience

keyboard_arrow_up

In England, tea is more than a drink: It’s a ritual, a lifeline (especially on rainy days), and practically a national pastime. So you couldn’t find a better guide for a tea-discovery experience than tea specialist Katy Woollard, live from Chelsea in the UK. This live online class takes you on a vibrant journey through 5,000 years of tea history, exploring its mythical origins, global travels, and countless varieties while you learn hands-on tips for the perfect brew every time. Grab your kettle, your prettiest teacup, and maybe your favorite fellow tea-sipper, and join a tea party like no other—because a good cuppa isn’t just a warm drink, it’s a way of life.

  • Brew along with Katy, learning her top steeping secrets as you prepare three of the unique teas in your gift set (see Comes with the class, below): Chelsea Garden white, light and fruity green, and legendary black Darjeeling.
  • Get your burning (or, should we say, boiling) tea questions answered in a live Q&A where you’ll benefit from Katy’s expert advice.
  • Discover tea’s epic history and unique qualities, from delicate white teas to robust blacks.
Class length: 75 minutes.
Comes with the class: Our Taste of Tea Exploratory Gift Set includes eight exquisite teas (including the three that you’ll brew and taste in class), expertly blended in the UK and beautifully gift-boxed.

About

A native of London's historic Royal Borough of Greenwich, Katy Woollard blends her deep love of tea, history, and education as a specialist and trainer for one of England's oldest tea companies. With over a decade of working in the storied institution, Katy's expertise spans teas, coffees, and cocoas from around the world, and she's traveled to estates in India and Sri Lanka to learn firsthand. Her rare role involves training staff and customers worldwide, sharing the cultural richness and ceremonial joy that tea provides. Katy's favorite moments? When someone says "I didn't know that!" because her passion is as much about sparking curiosity as it is about savoring a perfect cup.

For this class, you will need the included Taste of Tea Exploratory Gift Set, hot water, 2-3 cups or mugs, a saucer or bowl, a teaspoon, and optional pen and paper for notes.
