Laboratorio del Tè
In this four-day seminar, you can learn about different preparation methods, taste a variety of teas and discover lesser-known tea cultures. The tea garden at the Casa del Tè on Monte Verità offers the unique opportunity to produce your own tea from fresh leaves. The focus here is on the tea experience.
This seminar is a cooperation between Länggass-Tee and Casa del Tè and is aimed at anyone who is interested. No previous knowledge is required, so everyone has the opportunity to expand their knowledge of tea. The content complements the Länggass-Tee Tea School and offers a comprehensive opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of tea.

On the first day, the focus is on the tea plant and the tea categories processed from it. A tasting of all basic processing methods rounds off the tour of the tea garden. On the second day, the hand-made production of tea, from picking to final drying, as well as European tea culture are on the program. On the remaining two days, we will look at the different tea cultures of China, Japan and Laos as well as the local preparation methods. Since tea production depends on the weather, the order of the program items may vary.
The programme is held at the Casa del Tè on Monte Verità. From Locarno you can take the bus to Ascona (bus stop ‘Ascona Centro’) and from there it is a 20-minute walk up the small hill. The Casa del Tè is located in the park of the Hotel Monte Verità. A few parking spaces are available there. There are many hotels and bed and breakfasts available in Ascona and nearby Locarno.
