About this Event
What if tea could be the ingredient that transforms an entire meal?
In this interactive tasting experience, we invite you to explore tea in a fun, creative, and delicious way. Through three tea-based savory courses, you'll discover how tea can add aroma, texture, depth, and character to food—often in ways you would never expect.
Whether you're a dedicated tea lover or simply curious about new flavors, this workshop offers a fresh perspective on one of the world's oldest beverages. No tea knowledge is required—just bring your appetite and an open mind.
During this session, you will:
• Enjoy a three-course tea-based tasting menu
• Discover how different teas can be used as culinary ingredients
• Explore the connection between tea, flavor, and food culture
• Learn how tea can enhance both everyday cooking and fine dining
• Experience tea beyond the teacup through creative food pairings
By the end of the session, you'll leave with a new appreciation for tea—not only as a drink, but as a versatile ingredient full of possibilities.
Join us and discover a whole new way to enjoy tea.
