Tasting, Learning & Blending

Botanicals & tea as ritual

Workshops & Tastings

Taste. Learn. Create.

For those who want to dive deeper into botanical infusions and tea as ritual, our workshops offer a calm, sensory learning experience. We pause to explore origin, composition and brewing standard — and how plants have held a place within everyday caring habits for centuries.

The botanical workshops focus on traditional plant knowledge behind botanical infusions. We taste flower, leaf and root, discuss balance and thermics, and look from a wellbeing perspective at the role plants traditionally play — sober & careful.

The tea workshops take you into the world of Camellia sinensis. We work with the Gong Fu Cha ritual and prepare tea in multiple short infusions with an authentic Yixing teapot or Gaiwan, so layers of flavor unfold step by step.

In the programs where botanicals and tea come together, a richer whole emerges — more contrast, more nuance, more comparison.

Tailor-made private ritual

For two people — personal, calm and precise.

We welcome you in our Blendstudio at the kitchen table and around the kitchen island, right in between the jars of botanicals and loose tea leaves. No other guests — just calm, attention and space to taste. We tailor the ritual to what you want to explore: purely botanical, classic tea (Camellia sinensis), or a combination.

Private Tasting Experience

1 hour · 2 participants

A calm private ritual in our Blendstudio: tasting at the kitchen table, between botanicals and loose tea leaves. No other guests — just attention, space and time to discover layers of flavor.

We tailor the ritual to what you want to explore: purely botanical, classic tea (Camellia sinensis), or a combination. In one hour we taste on average 4 to 6 infusions.

What you learn

  • Origin and terroir — where does it grow, under what conditions?
  • Stories and traditions behind botanicals and teas.
  • How oxidation, harvest moment and processing influence flavor.
  • How botanicals traditionally fit into caring rituals.
  • The role of brewing standard (temperature, dosage, steep time) in flavor development.

What you taste

A series of infusions in which we compare and deepen — botanicals, tea, or both. We pay attention to aroma, taste, structure and balance.

Gong Fu Cha

With classic tea we can work with the Gong Fu Cha ritual: multiple short infusions with a Yixing teapot or Gaiwan, so layers of flavor unfold step by step.

You can go deeper

Want more comparison and nuance? Then you can extend the private ritual to 1.5 or 2 hours. Extra time means: more repeat infusions, more contrast and more room for your questions.

Price: € 49 p.p. · per hour

Private Blend Experience

1 hour · 2 participants

Especially for those who mainly want to create, we offer a sensory Private Blend Experience in our Blendstudio. A warm, personal session where taste, aroma and creativity come together — without other guests, so all attention is fully on you.

Here it’s not about tasting alone, but about designing your own botanical composition.

What can you expect?

  • Warm welcome with a house-made botanical blend
  • A short, optional dosha test to discover your flavor direction
  • Explanation about botanicals, flavors and traditions
  • Insight into the build-up of a harmonious blend: base, heart and top notes
  • Discovering, seeing and smelling more than 70 botanicals (leaf, flower, peel, fruit, root, grass and seed)
  • Composing — with guidance — your personal blend (max. 12 ingredients)
  • Tasting 2 to 3 carefully selected botanicals for deeper understanding
  • Making a mini-batch to taste first and refine together

How it continues

When the balance is right, the ingredients are carefully weighed and prepared. While you design your own tea name and label, we prepare everything.

Then you mix the blend yourselves, crush — where desired — a few botanicals for extra aroma, and fill your own glass flask.

What do you take home?

  • Each creates their own personal blend of 100 grams
  • In a signature glass flask with personal label and your own tea name
  • You receive the remaining tea in a stylish refill package

Price: € 49 p.p. · per hour

Workshops for groups

For friends, teams and groups — tea as an experience, not an afterthought.

Group workshops are ideal if you want to taste, learn and slow down together. You choose a program (from introduction to deep dive), and we guide you step by step: smell, infuse, taste, compare. We bring Ayurvedic inspiration along as accessible language for balance and thermics.

What you can expect

  • Guided tasting with attention to aroma, taste and structure.
  • Comparisons between botanicals and/or teas — so you learn to recognize nuance.
  • Context about origin, processing and tradition.
  • Practical insights to brew better at home.
  • Calm structure with room for questions.

Locations

  • Blendstudio (for 5 people) — at the table, among the botanicals.
  • Private room I (8–16 people) — calm and comfortable.
  • Private room II (25–40 people) — spacious for larger groups.

You can tailor it

Do you have a preference (more botanical, more tea, extra Gong Fu Cha, less theory)? Let us know — we keep the program clear, but can place accents.

Good to know

Tradition & wellbeing

In our workshops we talk about plant knowledge and how botanicals are traditionally used within caring rituals. We stay careful in our language: no medical statements, no promises — but context, tradition and experience.

Allergens & sensitivities

In the Blendstudio we work with many different botanicals and tea. Do you have allergies or are you sensitive to specific plants? Let us know in advance — then we’ll take it into account in the tasting where possible.

Pregnancy & medication

Some herbs require extra attention during pregnancy, breastfeeding or when taking medication. If in doubt, consult your healthcare provider — then tasting remains a good idea.
