A true tale of disguise, deception & stolen tea—told through 3 curated cups. A tasting by Chyia & Chai, hosted at PekoeTea
About this Event

A daring disguise. A stolen secret. A true story behind the tea in your cup. Join us at Pekoe Tea Studio for a special evening of storytelling and tea tasting with Chiya & Chai.


In this relaxed, sit-down experience, you’ll hear the astonishing real-life tale of a 19th-century Scottish botanist who risked everything to smuggle China’s tea secrets back to Britain.


We’ll taste three teas connected to this extraordinary journey and uncover the drama, deception, and adventure hidden in every sip.


What’s included:


  • Tea Tasting and Storytelling with Chyia & Chai
  • A tasting of three carefully curated single origin teas from the PekoeTea collection
  • Vegan-friendly light snacks provided
  • 15% discount on teas bought on the night
