Tea Tasting and Blending Workshop with Plantation by teakha
Learn about the art of tea-making and try your hands at creating your own unique tea blends at this exclusive event with Plantation by teakha in collaboration with Slow Food Hong Kong. Plantation instructors will take us through some basic knowledge about teas, exploring the spectrum from white, green, oolong to black teas. Tips on blending and the benefits of each ingredient will also be explained, after which guests will have the chance to try their hands at blending their own teas!
Plantation by teakha’s contemporary interpretation of tea appreciation stems from journeys through different tea cultures around the world, and is more fluid and experimental than traditional tea classes. Founded by Nana Chan, the brainchild behind teakha, Plantation is a craft tea company dedicated to bringing rare, high quality teas to you from small plantations around the world through contemporary, beautiful means. Nana will also be on hand at the workshop to answer any questions.
Born in Taiwan, having studied in London and now living in Hong Kong, Nana developed a love for tea through the cultures of these cities. In 2012, Nana gave up her job as a lawyer to pursue her passion for tea. Her first tea café, teakha, was born on Tai Ping Shan Street that year. Plantation by teakha – a craft tea company sourcing unique, high quality teas and teaware from all over the world – naturally followed suit.
