Tea 101: Styles of Tea

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.

• 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)

• 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

• Seated
• Approx. 90–120 minutes
• A calm, cosy session with plenty of time to ask questions
