About this Event
This is the perfect starting point if you’ve ever thought, “I like tea… but I don’t really know what I’m drinking.” Tea is one plant with a surprising number of outcomes — floral, grassy, nutty, honeyed, roasted, rich — and it all comes down to how it’s grown, processed, and brewed.
Tea 101: Styles of Tea is a calm, welcoming, seated tasting where we’ll guide you through the main tea styles and show you what makes each one distinct. We’ll taste a curated flight side-by-side, explain the basics without the waffle, and give you practical brewing tips you can take home straight away.
What you’ll learn
- The difference between white, green, oolong, black and dark/aged teas
- How processing changes flavour (oxidation, roasting, rolling, ageing)
- How to taste tea: aroma, body, sweetness, astringency and finish
- How to brew better tea at home (temperature, time, leaf quantity, water)
Your ticket includes
- A guided, seated tasting led by the Flynn’s team
- A curated flight of around 6 teas across the core styles
- Brewing guidance and Q&A throughout
Format
- Seated
- Approx. 90–120 minutes
- A calm, cosy session with plenty of time to ask questions
