Seasonal Tea Tasting Experience

A sensory journey through seasonal Japanese and Chinese teas.



75 mins Location Hackney Experience size 1 to 10 guests   £35 - £60 (£35 for 1 person; £60 for Bundle 2 people)
Slow down and reconnect through this unique, sensory experience exploring the richness of Japanese and Chinese tea traditions, curated with the rhythm of the seasons in mind.
Rooted in the philosophy of presence, simplicity, and sensory awareness, this experience invites you to taste, feel, and learn about seasonal teas through a series of mindful rituals and guided tastings – all in a warm, welcoming setting.
We begin with a gentle sensory grounding to arrive in the moment. You’ll then be guided through a mini tea ceremony, inspired by both Japanese chanoyu and Chinese Cha Dao traditions – an invitation to slow down and experience tea not just as a drink, but as a way of being.
You’ll explore a curated selection of seasonal Japanese and Chinese teas, such as floral spring oolongs, earthy fermented pu-erh, or bright green senchas – learning how to taste, observe, and connect with the unique personality of each tea.
Alongside each tea, you’ll enjoy small seasonal pairings such as wagashi (Japanese sweets) or thoughtfully selected snacks that complement and elevate the experience.

Recent reviews of Seasonal Tea Tasting Experience

  • 5/5 from Naeemah Amaanee, attended Jul 2026: The class was such a fun experience. The tea’s we tasted were all so unique and all tasted amazing! I really loved the calm environment and how we were all able to just live in the moment and enjoy both the teas and the aromas. The host, Mira, and her fiance were both so sweet and you can tell they really want us to enjoy the experience.
  • 5/5 from Maksym Chychkan, attended Nov 2025: It was great! Mira started by awakening our sense by giving us different herbs to taste. Then introduced us to 3 teas, each very different. Great atmosphere, great host, would love to do it again

Hi, I’m Mira — a tea host, creative director and founder of Alchème Studio.
Alchème Studio is a space I created to share the power of tea as a daily ritual for presence, stillness, and connection. With a background in art direction and holistic practices, I’ve always been drawn to experiences that awaken the senses and help people to slow down.
My journey with tea began during a time when I was seeking more grounding and clarity. What started as a quiet practice at home became a much deeper path. I’ve since studied traditional Japanese tea ceremony under a Japanese tea master and trained in Cha Dao with Wu De, learning to hold tea not just as a drink, but as a practice for living more intentionally.
Through Alchème Studio, I offer curated tea experiences, matcha workshops, and multi-sensory events that blend tradition with modern, mindful living. I also create seasonal offerings like our upcoming interactive time capsule tea boxes, designed to guide people into presence through the senses.
Whether you join a tea ceremony, sip matcha with us at a workshop, or simply open one of our tea boxes at home — my intention is always the same: To create a space where you can slow down, reconnect, and experience the everyday as something unique, or as my tea master would say "Ichi-go ichi-e".
