Alessandra was a passionate storyteller in sharing the history of tea and how it’s made was very interesting. We enjoyed tasting all the teas and learning how they are grown and produced. This was a memorable experience even if you’re not a tea drinker. However I am and now love it more!

Very exclusive and unique experience! The masterclass was in the basement at a chic and clean bar, together as a group of six. We got taught about the origin and history of tea, then tried six different sorts of tea and talked about it. We learnt a lot - really recommendable, if you are interested in tea.

If you want to learn all about tea, this is the adventure you should take. Twinings is a lovely shop in London and Alessandra was the best teacher of tea. It was fun, informational, and very tasty.
