Looking for a unique, interactive way to celebrate Father’s Day or simply enjoy a new experience? Steeped & Refined is the perfect way to explore tea in a fresh, unexpected way. Perfect for seasoned tea drinkers or newbies.

Join us for a relaxed, engaging experience where you’ll learn about a variety of teas, herbs, and spices, along with the art of blending. Discover how to pair bold flavors, steep the perfect cup, and explore the wellness benefits of each ingredient-all in a warm, welcoming setting.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create your own personalized loose-leaf tea blend, sample it, name it, and package it to take home. We’re featuring a curated selection of deeper, more robust ingredients including roasted teas, warming spices, cacao, and citrus elements-allowing you to craft a blend that feels rich, smooth, and uniquely your own. You'll also have the option of making a Spring/Summer inspired blend. We'll explore simple syrup pairings for a subtle, elevated twist, as well as guidance on how to enjoy your blend hot or iced.

If you’re a drinker, you’ll also have the option to craft a blend that pairs beautifully with your favorite spirits-think whiskey, bourbon, or rum-perfect for creating your own elevated tea cocktails at home.

All materials and supplies are included. Guests will enjoy tea & light refreshments while soaking in the experience. This workshop is designed to be intimate, relaxed, and thoughtfully curated.

As a thank-you for attending, you’ll receive a goody bag with tea essentials to continue your experience at home. We’ll also include a fun tea activity and a giveaway for a chance to win a special prize.

Dads will receive an extra-special gift!
