An international tea tasting weekend. A lineup and tea experience worth coming from far away to Bern. Over the course of three days, we aim to give participants a deep insight into the world of tea through the lens of our shop.
From Golden Yunnan to Bohetang Gaogan, with over four hundred teas in stock, we believe we have an outstanding selection worth exploring further. Through our longstanding network of producers, we have access to amazing rarities produced in finest artisanal, skilled work that we would like to share with other tea lovers.

Over the course of this weekend we offer various workshops, comparing and enjoying more than 30 representative teas — immersing ourselves in the teaverse and broadening our understanding of it.

Is this for me?
This event is designed for enthusiastic and experienced tea drinkers alike. We assume you have a basic understanding of tea and a genuine interest in these leaves. However, no one is a pro! Each of us has a unique approach to tea, and there is no right or wrong. We are here to learn from one another.

If you’re unsure whether this event is for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We also offer introductory courses in three languages, covering the basics of tea and its preparation. Take a look at our programme here.

Body limits
We aim to taste as many teas as possible so you leave with satisfied taste buds and a head full of impressions. However, both information and liquid intake have their limits, and it’s natural to reach a point of saturation. To make the experience enjoyable, we’ve planned breaks and a balanced tasting schedule. You are always free to adjust your pace based on your own needs.

Language
Should not be a barrier! The course will be held in English to reach the widest possible audience. However, as most participants won’t be native speakers, we will naturally find a common way to communicate. We also speak German, Spanish and French and translations are readily available on request.
