Step into Spring with our Signature Cherry Blossom Tea Blending Workshop – a lively, interactive experience with a tea party twist. Guests will mix and mingle while sampling a curated selection of spring-inspired teas, learning about herbs and wellness benefits, and enjoying fun tea-themed games designed to spark connection and creativity.
While cherry blossom sets the tone for this seasonal experience, guests are invited to create any style of tea blend they love -floral, fruity, herbal, or bold – using a variety of botanicals and ingredients available during the workshop.
