Tea lovers and the tea curious will rejoice in this tour all about tea! Do you know what the tea families are? What makes a tea a black tea? Be ready to be immersed in this cozy and refined tour. You will smell, taste, learn and try your hand at making the perfect cup of tea. We start in a Chinese pharmacy, move on to a tea sommelier school for a short course and then taste elegant English sandwiches and pastries as well as Japanese delights along with tea in the second half of the tour. The tour starts with a lot of history, tea learning and tea-making technique but gets more and more euphoric and loungey as you become what we call “tea drunk.”
Tea will never be the same once you fall down this rabbit hole and realize that you have discovered a new world of tea! Meet some of the magical people that travel the world picking out the best teas just for you.
You will return home with a new appreciation and understanding of the diverse world of tea and how outstanding the tea available in Montreal is!
While we do not recommend the tea tour for children- children over 12 can come on this tour- but their chaperones need to supervise the teas the children consume as to be wary of their caffeine intake.
The tea tour finishes very far from the tour beginning so we recommend that you take taxis or use public transportation to and from the tour.
