Return HomeDifferent starting points for your tea journey
Your current relationship with tea and what you're hoping to explore will help determine which option serves you best. Some people know immediately which appeals to them. Others benefit from a conversation to clarify their interests.
Each option stands alone as a complete experience, but they can also work together. Many participants start with one approach and later explore others as their interests evolve.

Questions people often have
Can I try one option before committing to others?
Absolutely. Each option stands as a complete experience on its own. Many people start with a single sourcing journey session to see if our approach resonates before considering the education series. There's no pressure to move from one to another.
Do I need any prior tea knowledge?
No prior knowledge is required for any of our options. We meet you wherever you currently are in your tea journey. Complete beginners and those with some existing experience both find value in our approach because we tailor content to actual needs rather than assumptions.
What if I'm not sure which option fits me best?
Reach out and we'll have a conversation about your current relationship with tea and what you're hoping to explore. Based on that discussion, we can suggest which option might serve you best. Sometimes people realize their interests span multiple options, which is perfectly fine.
Are sessions offered virtually or in person?
The sourcing journey sessions are virtual, making them accessible regardless of location. The education series can be either format depending on current offerings and your preference. Party planning consultations work well both remotely and in person. We'll discuss what makes sense for your situation.
What if I need to reschedule or cancel?
Life happens, and we understand that. We maintain reasonable rescheduling policies that balance flexibility with respect for everyone's time. Specific details are provided when you book, but generally we work with you to find solutions rather than enforcing rigid penalties.
Can I gift these experiences to someone else?
Yes, all our options make thoughtful gifts for tea enthusiasts or anyone curious about deepening their appreciation. We can provide gift certificates and work with the recipient to schedule at their convenience. Many people have discovered their tea passion through gifted sessions.
