Private Tea Tastings & Seminars

Fancy rule

Since ancient times, tea has always been the glue that holds communities together. From literary gatherings to political debates, teatime was instrumental in facilitating the exchange of ideas across eastern and western cultures.

The modern tea experience should also deliver the same level of communal adhesion. We started holding corporate virtual tasting during the pandemic as a way for the team to connect outside of the business. Today, we offer an array of activities and tasting seminars, both virtual and in person, to companies across the US. Whether it's brand collaboration, private tearoom event or large conference tasting, we've enjoyed seeing the community gather within the context of tea. Below are a few snippets for your reference.

Private Tea Tasting FAQs

How much does a private tea tasting cost?

It depends on format, headcount, and location. Drop-off office amenities start lower; staffed in-office tastings or private tearoom buyouts are higher. Email us with your group size, date, and venue, and we'll send a custom proposal.

Are tastings available outside NYC?

Virtual tastings are available anywhere — we ship the tea kits in advance, then host a guided session over Zoom or your video platform of choice. In-person tastings are NYC-area for now, though we've done occasional travel events for larger clients.

What's the minimum and maximum group size?

Virtual tastings work for as few as 5 people; in-person events typically start around 10. We've hosted seminars and pop-up tea bars for 200+. The format we recommend depends on what you're trying to achieve — please ask.

How far in advance do I need to book?

For tearoom buyouts and large in-person events, 4–6 weeks is ideal. Smaller virtual or office tastings can sometimes be arranged with 2 weeks' lead time, depending on availability. The earlier the better, especially around the holidays.
