2.5 hours Location Manchester Class size 1 to 10 guests   £45

Learn the art of tea tasting & create your own tea blends to take home with you. Our famous blending workshops include an introduction to the magical world of tea & a goodie bag to take home with you. Bring a tea lover as a unique gift experience or come along alone & meet new friends!
Tea Blending and Tasting Classes, what to expect:
Our traditional tasting session will teach you all about different teas & blending herbs, how they are made, best enjoyed & their potential health benefits.
Starting the evening with a warm welcome & a tea-based cocktail or mocktail, you’ll then get the chance to try an exciting selection of tea blends as you learn about the art of tea blending.  Later in the evening, our expert Tea Mixologists will help you create three tea blends of your own to take home with you - each designed, named & packed by your very own hands!
What’s more, you’ll get 10% off everything in store all evening, so if you find some new faves you can save whilst topping up your tea cupboard.
Every attendee gets a goody bag to take home that contains some samples of our favourite tea blends & three empty 20g pouches for you to fill with your tea blends, all inside one of our cotton totes.
Who can attend?
Hosted in our Manchester store, come along alone or with a group, all are welcome. A perfect gift for a friend who wants to learn all about tea blending, as corporate entertainment or with your team at work and unique hen parties too!
Unfortunately our store is not wheelchair accessible, but does have on site customer toilets. There is no parking outside the store but there is a pay & display multi storey on Tib Street (M4 1PD) 2 mins walk away.

Recent reviews of Tea Blending Workshop

  • 5/5 from Sarah Trueman, attended Mar 2026: Great experience overall! Teachers were very engaging and knowledgeable, opportunities to ask questions throughout. Tea tasting and creating own blends.Tea-a-holics dream class!!
  • 5/5 from Janett Mumford, attended Dec 2025: It was birthday gift for my husband, enjoyable evening, learnt a lot more of the making of tea and the blending of different flavours. I felt that room could have been warmer. I would recommend this workshop.
  • 5/5 from Nick Cave, attended May 2025: Simply brilliant! Really good introduction to tea and it's origins. The layout was superb with the tasting arranged specifically to maximise enjoyment. It was really interesting to learn about the different tea origins and what made them different from each other. Really friendly staff and some great drinks! I would love to go along again!
  • 5/5 from Saule Morkunaite, attended Feb 2025: Lovely evening and a lot of tea. Kim and Chiara were both so lovely and knowledgable.
  • 5/5 from Elaine Earp, attended Jan 2025: Really enjoyable tea blending session with two excellent teachers. They were both very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about tea and Bird & Blend. We got to taste 11 tea blends and took 3 that we blended ourselves home with us, so definitely feel like it's good value for money. Also, it was great to get the advice on the best way to brew the different tea types.
  • 4/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Sep 2024: Nice tasting and tea intro session but not much guidance and ingredients for tea blending. Feel a bit overpriced for the 3 little packs of blends I got and wasn't provided with any tea samples.
  • 5/5 from Pamela, attended Jul 2024: My son and I attended the class, it was a Christmas gift from him to me. The venue was great, intimate but not crowded. The two hosts were very knowledgeable and welcomed questions. I learnt a lot about tea, honestly didn't realise there are so many types. I loved making our own blends of tea and excited to try them in a couple of days. I would highly recommend his "tea experience". Thank you
  • 5/5 from Alexander McDonald, attended Jun 2024: Kim and Dee were excellent, really interesting, loved the cocktails (try the rum gingerbread chai) and got to leave with a bag full of self mixed teas. Would recommend.
  • 4/5 from Kiera Gould, attended Apr 2023: The booking experience was easy and the company followed up with an email the next day to collect full details. They also sent reminders closer to the date which was helpful so the communication was great. However it was a shame that the events were only available on Sunday evenings which wasn’t the ideal time for most people to do a lot of tea tasting. On the evening we attended the class was led by Frankie and Liam who were very knowledgeable and efficient. We got to try lots of different teas and had explanation about the different ingredients. At the end we had a chance to make our own blends to take home. It was a different way to spend an evening and overall enjoyable, although I expected more focus on the making of the blends part, which seemed like a bit of an add-on as there was no real instruction and it felt like a more minor part of the session.
