A changing Indian tea flight
No two Tea Room gatherings need be identical. The selection follows freshness, season and availability, so each event reveals a different expression of Indian tea.
The exact flight varies; not every region or style appears at every event.
Plan your Tea Room visit
Approximately 75–90 minutes.
An intimate, guided small-group session.
Four to six rotating Indian teas.
Usually without milk or sugar; an occasional chai or milk comparison may be included.
Hosted periodically, subject to our tea taster’s availability.
Date, venue, fee and instructions are shared with invited participants.
Who will enjoy the Tea Room?
No prior tea knowledge is required. The experience is designed for curious tea drinkers, chai lovers, home brewers, hospitality and culinary professionals, and anyone seeking a thoughtful activity with friends.
Private and corporate groups: mention your group size and preferred occasion in the form. We will respond when a suitable session can be arranged.
Questions before you register?
Do I need tasting experience?
No. We begin with the basics and give you a simple vocabulary for describing what you notice.
Will I taste tea from every region?
The flight rotates, so origins and styles vary from one gathering to another.
Does the tasting contain caffeine?
Yes. Tea naturally contains caffeine, but samples are small and you may taste selectively.
Can I register a private or corporate group?
Yes. Add your group size and occasion to the form; we will respond when a suitable session can be arranged.
