We're thrilled to hear that you had an interesting and educational experience during our bubble tea class with tutor Simon. It's great to know that you learned about tea history and fashion trends in China.
We're also delighted that you enjoyed the delicious drinks made with real fruits and other ingredients. Creating your own tapioca balls with your chosen flavors sounds like a fun and interactive activity. Simon's recipe must have added a special touch to the drinks, making them taste very good.

This is yet another class we attended. Hanna and Simon are wonderful teachers as always.
My daughter loves bubble tea but I don't have any idea of it. Hanna explained the changing of the drinks made me interested in the topics.
We made our own boba balls with real ingredients. It is very easy and I will make them again at home. Then we made three different drinks. They are really delicious. And surprised by daughter even she drank a lot before.
Strongly recommend the class to any one loves bubble tea.

Fantastic class! We enjoyed every minute of it. Really informative and a load of fun making something we'd never considered making before (and trying them all afterwards as well!). The teachers were really helpful and enthusiastic and we came away with some delicious drinks. Would definitely recommend this class to everyone and we'll be back to try some of the other classes for sure!
I learnt a great deal on my dumpling and bubble tea course. It was a great combination to choose together. I was very impressed with all the folklore and history attached to the dumpling lesson and also current developments in Taiwan the home of bubble tea. Well worth taking, I have made great friends with Simon and Hanna under their clear instructions and care. I feel confident to make my own dumplings and bubble tea in the near future.

Simon and Hanna were great teachers, they had lots of information and were more than happy to answer any questions we had. The class itself was very enjoyable and we came away with plenty of knowledge, ingredients to make our own and more bubble tea than we could handle!
I would definitely recommend this class. Thanks again, Simon & Hanna!
Amazing informative session. Clearly presented and shown. Very organised and great presentation. So many drinks!

I booked a private class for my wedding anniversary as my husband and daughter are bubble tea fans. My daughter joined too and we all enjoyed it. We have a much better understanding in bubble tea making and very excited to make our first bubble tea at home. Simon and Hanna are very friendly and have taught us a lot in making different types of bubbles and bubble teas. They provided all ingredients and the venue was good. For a private session, I think it was good value and we look forward to future classes. Thank you for the amazing session today! (*^_^*)

I had a private class with Simon and his wife and they taught me so much historically and practically about tapioca pearls, tapioca sweet potatoes etc.
We did the most popular bubble tea: brown sugar milk tea, and a dessert.
They are so nice, and happy that i really enjoyed my time!
