The tea journey
An Educational Tea Experience
Every Cup Tells a Story
Welcome to The Tea Journey, where every cup becomes an opportunity to discover history, culture, and connection.
More than a tea tasting, The Tea Journey is an interactive educational experience that invites guests to slow down, engage their senses, and explore the fascinating world of tea. Together, we travel through centuries of tradition and across continents as we learn about the origins, stories, and unique characteristics of teas from around the world.
Served in elegant vintage teacups and guided by educator and speaker Claudia Arroyo, each experience blends storytelling, culture, and conversation into a memorable event that leaves guests both inspired and refreshed.
