Fun Tea classes in the UK

Tea tasting classes are ideal for beginners 

Brits love a nice cup of tea with a dash of milk and sometimes a spoonful of sugar. But that’s not the only way to enjoy tea. Our UK tea classes take you beyond your comfort zone and introduce you to a whole new realm of tea drinking. Led by expert artisans and brewers, classes will help you reimagine the way you experience tea. 

Classes cover a wide range of topics, ensuring there’s something for every tea aficionado out there. From hands-on workshops in Islington that teach you how to make bubble tea, to online classes that explore ancient Chinese tea ceremonies, our talented teachers are here to show you just how diverse tea can be. 

Whether it’s a mug of Indian chai or a cup of calming tea before bed, almost every Brit looks forward to a daily cuppa or two. At ClassBento, we partner with teachers across the country, making it easy to find tea classes in your local area to suit you. Face-to-face workshops are ideal if you’re looking for a fun and social activity. We also offer a variety of tea courses online that you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home. 

Tea classes for beginners: what to expect

Whether you’re a tea fanatic with a good understanding of the different types and varieties, or a complete beginner just starting to stray into the wonderful world of tea, our classes are for everyone. This makes tea blending classes ideal for a variety of occasions and events. 

Both in-person and online tea classes are great team building activities, and will turn making the office brew into a pleasure rather than a chore – you could even compete to see who can make the best cuppa! On the hunt for hen weekend ideas? You’ll love our range of sassy classes that teach you how to make tea-infused cocktails. Or if your bride-to-be loves the wholesome side of tea drinking, consider a relaxing tea tasting class that focuses on the therapeutic benefits of the nation’s favourite beverage.

In a typical workshop, you’ll meet up with your teacher in a central location. All ingredients and equipment are included, meaning all you need to bring is an open mind and a good dash of enthusiasm. If you’ve signed up for tea classes online, you can expect a personalised craft kit delivered direct to your door. This will include everything you need to participate in your virtual tea making class. 

What are the benefits of a tea tasting class?

Learning how to make the perfect cup of tea isn’t just about taste. Many of our tea tasting classes focus on developing a deeper understanding of the art of tea blending, mindful drinking and tea’s cultural importance around the world – for instance, its roots in ancient Chinese philosophy. Others take a more playful approach to tea drinking and explore how cold-brew loose leaf varieties can be used to make craft cocktails. 

Our tea classes are also a great opportunity to learn about the health and wellness benefits of different teas. Armed with new knowledge and insight from your tea making class, you’ll be able to choose blends that help bolster immunity, improve digestion, promote sleep, calm your mind and boost your mood. You’ll learn the importance of taking time for yourself, away from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind, and why building a ritual can be so beneficial to your mental and physical wellbeing. 

You’ll also benefit from the social aspect of the tea classes; after all, what could be more soothing than gathering your nearest and dearest together to learn all about the UK’s favourite hot drink, sample some tasty tea delights and relax in each other's company?

We have tea making activities up and down the UK from workshops in London and Bristol to tea making classes in Edinburgh. Wherever you are in the UK, you’re sure to find a tea making class near you.
