TEA TASTING :
WITH TEA MASTER ANNA KYDD

MY TASTING ROOM HAS NOW CLOSED, BUT YOU CAN BOOK A PRIVATE TASTING HERE. 

 

---

A relaxing and invigorating tasting of the six types of loose-leaf tea, led by our certified tea master and Founder of The Tea Curator, Anna Kydd.

OCTOBER THROUGH NOVEMBER 2022

Newmarket, Auckland

Join our founder Anna Kydd in our new, pop-up tasting room in Newmarket for a beautifully relaxing and sensory tea experience. 

At our tasting event, you will:

~ enjoy a glass of cold-brewed, sparkling tea on arrival
~ be taken through a mindful tea meditation
~ learn what tea is (and what it isn’t) and get to know the six types of tea
~ find out about the difference between specialty tea and 'supermarket tea'
~ learn how to taste tea
~ learn how to prepare tea
~ taste 12 different teas, and
~ design your own daily tea ritual.

You will receive our small gift box with two 20g pouches of loose-leaf tea to take home with you (valued at $29).

This small, intimate experience will leave you feeling calm, relaxed, fascinated and invigorated. It's the perfect antidote to the heaviness of this year.

Come alone or bring a friend or two with you. Make a day of it and arrange shopping and lunch in Newmarket after or before the tasting.

"The event was really well structured, with lots of tasty and interesting teas covering the full range of white, green, yellow, oolong, black, and dark tea. All of the teas were lovely, and Anna had chosen some really interesting teas to compare and contrast against each other. Anna is an excellent host, with an impressive knowledge and an infectious enthusiasm. We learned heaps about the best ways to prepare tea, the effect that different processing has on the flavour of teas, and even the differences between loose leaf teas and supermarket teabags. It was great to be able to ask questions of an expert in a fun and informal setting."
