Our traditional tasting session will teach you all about different teas & blending herbs, how they are made, best enjoyed & their potential health benefits.
Starting the evening with a warm welcome & a tea-based cocktail or mocktail, you’ll then get the chance to try an exciting selection of tea blends as you learn about the art of tea blending. Later in the evening, our expert Tea Mixologists will help you create three tea blends of your own to take home with you - each designed, named & packed by your very own hands!
What’s more, you’ll get 10% off everything in store all evening, so if you find some new faves you can save whilst topping up your tea cupboard.
Every attendee gets a goody bag to take home that contains some samples of our favourite tea blends & three empty 20g pouches for you to fill with your tea blends, all inside one of our cotton totes.
Hosted in our London Borough store, come along alone or with a group, all are welcome. A perfect gift for a friend who wants to learn all about tea blending, as corporate entertainment or with your team at work and unique hen parties too!

Great, but not having a working toilet at an event with that much to drink isn't ideal.
I also think spacing out the drinks would be better. The Ankara apple was completely overtaken by the Jasmine in the tea before.
We didn’t think it was good value for money and would hesitate to recommend this - although we love the teas themselves.
What we learned about tea was great, the staff were very nice, funny and knowledgeable. It was great to try lots of different flavours of tea, and learn how to brew them properly and why. This was a great first hour and a half that we thoroughly enjoyed.
In terms of tasting, there was the same amount of tasting as a lock-in event, about 8 teas (20-30ml each) and one sized tea cocktail/mocktail.
However, the tea blending part felt very disorganised and not value for money. After sampling multiple teas during the first part of the session, we were disappointed for the yerba mate and oolong tea base to not be available for the blending, as well as the white tea having run out quickly. The ingredients were not as extensive as the options in the standard bird and blend teas, it seemed very basic and limited to only 10 additions, that it was not possible to be creative or recreate any of the flavours we tried. Quite a few of the ‘additions’ ran out as well - cacao nibs, lemon and orange peel, so we could only take away green/black/hibiscus tea with some cinnamon or coconut. After the high of the first hour, this really brought the mood down. We also were not told about any flavour combinations or anything about what works or doesn’t work for tea blending - it would have been interesting to understand more about how the company comes up with its flavour…
Hi Natalia,
Thanks so much for leaving a review :)
I'm very sorry to hear that you were disappointed with part of the tea blending workshop, I have passed this onto the Store Manager at our Borough store and they have reached out to you by email to see if they can help.
I do hope that helps, please let me know if you have any other questions. Yours Brew-ly, Claire @ B&B
