Travel the world through tea as you taste delicious varieties and learn how this beloved beverage is made.

Join Doehrn Tea Co. founder Monika Mraz for 90 minutes of tasting and discovery. You’ll sample a range of teas — green, black, and oolong alongside caffeine-free rooibos, herbal, and fruit blends — while learning what makes each one distinct. We’ll explore how two black teas like Golden Monkey and an Assam can share the same category yet taste worlds apart. And we’ll highlight the cultures that shaped the tea traditions we enjoy today.

Whether you’re a lifelong tea drinker or just tea-curious, you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for what’s in your cup, and maybe just a little bit tea-drunk.

What to expect: 

Plan on drinking a wide variety of different teas and learning the basics about tea.
