A Journey Through Tea Workshop

Our workshops are taking a break for 2026, so we're not taking bookings at the moment. See our workshops page for details, or come and sit with us at the Tea Bar in Salamanca for a tasting, no booking needed.

Learn the 6 elements that make a tea ceremony a special occasion.

1. People - The person brewing the tea is crucial. What are the best ways to present a cup of tea?
2. Tea - Different teas come from different places and different makers. For different seasons and moods, it is crucial to choose the right tea for the right person.
3. Water - Explore the source of water, temperature, and the pots used to boil water to bring changes to the tea.
4. Ware - Explore the changes brought by different pots, pourers and cups.
5. Art - Finding out the brewing techniques and skills that are suitable for different teas.
6. Environment - Consider the environmental factors that affect how people experience the tea. Light, colour, sound and picture, flowers and incense can all add to the atmosphere.
