茶叶周末 CHAYE ZHOUMO

An international tea tasting weekend. 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 Assam CTC 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 high-end teas. Focusing on experience-based training in sensory evaluation to better understand that wonderful phenomenon called tea.

We will explore
Pu Er Sheng Cha, Feng Huang Dan Cong, Wuyi Yan Cha, Sencha, Long Jing, Mao Jian, tea ceramics and how they shape our perception. Discussing topics involving sensory experience and analysis, production styles and contexts, quality,history, terroir and many more.

Audience
This event is aimed at enthusiastic and/or experienced tea drinkers. More precisely, we assume that you have a basic understanding of tea and a take 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 are not sure if this event is for you, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are also running introductory courses in three languages, covering the basics of tea and its preparation, have a look at the program here.

Body limits
We try to taste as many tea as possible so you might go home with your taste buds satisfied and your head full of impressions. But there is a healthy limit to the intake of both information and liquid. One might reach a point of saturation. We try our best to use our time wisely by planning breaks and a reasonable schedule for the tastings. It is always possible to adjust the rate of consumption 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, most of us won't be native speakers, we will have to find a common language anyway. We also speak German, Spanish and French, translations are readily available on demand.
