Angelo was very knowledgeable about the history of the tea industry and how it has shaped British culture. Tasting and smelling and slurping different loose-leaf teas was such a fun experience!

A tea experience that will change your idea of tea. Our team expert( so sorry I forgot his name) was amazing. Passionate, informative and entertaining. We loved our experience trying and learning about new tea and the history of tea in a posh and comfortable setting. A must for anyone who drinks warm beverages.

The lady who took the masterclass Rosie was very knowledgeable about the history of the tea origins and she made it funny too. I enjoyed tasting teas that I had never heard of. My fiancé absolutely loved it as I got it for him as part of his birthday present.

The tea tasting was fun and very interesting; it included both a slide show about the history of tea, as well as the tea tasting activities! The woman running our session was great, as were all of the staff in the store itself. The tea tasting is in a very nice space located downstairs from the sales space, with comfy seating around a U-shaped bar. If you are a tea lover, this is a great outing which I can highly recommend :)

Much better than I expected. The class covered the history of tea and the history of twinings tea company and we got to try several different teas. Very informative. The store itself is very nice too. And you can try samples of any tea they have in the store.

Three of us attended the 2 hour master class. We enjoyed the history of tea, all the tastings & shopping in the shop afterwards. Liam was a wonderful host & is incredibly knowledgeable & easy going. The other staff members in the store were friendly & helpful as well. The tasting itself was a full 2 hours & was most enjoyable with a slew of information. Thanks Liam 😀

Class was educational, exciting & fun! Absolutely, loved it! Rosie was cheerful, interactive & funny. Came to class with zero knowledge about teas & the Twinning brand. Left, with an understanding of the brand history & their tea quality. Also, with a better appreciation for the appearance, aroma, flavour, mouthfeel & aftertaste of tea. Now, it will not just be drinking tea. The awaken senses would make it an overall experience!
