The tea school
Learning tea, from leaf to cup
Just as one learns to taste a great wine, La Boutique du Thé opens the doors of tasting to you: recognising the families, reading a terroir, mastering temperature, time and technique. Sessions in our shops, in Bordeaux and Nice, led by our tea sommeliers.
Introduction to tea
A first encounter with the great tea families, green, black, white, oolong and pu-erh teas, and the right preparation techniques. Ideal for discovering and finding your bearings.
Tasting workshops
Refine your palate: aromas, textures, origins. We compare, we name, we understand what sets one cru apart from another, in the manner of a tasting chart.
Tea sommelier programme
A more in-depth path towards expertise: terroirs, harvests, pairings and service. Full programme in preparation with the house.
In our shops, and soon online
Sessions take place in our Bordeaux and Nice tea rooms, in small groups. Remote and bespoke formats for groups and businesses are under consideration.
