Tea Seeds 茶籽, a Journey into Chinese Tea
We are scheduling a new group session for Autumn 2025: contact us if you're interested
Our new course "Tea Seeds", Chazi 茶籽, is a travel along the flavours of 20 excellent teas that we will brew together in five virtual meetings.
It is designed for those who want to deepen their knowledge of the ancient tea terroir of China, learning how to properly brew each tea category.
The topics focus on brewing techniques, the different ceramics and teaware production districts, the environment for tea drinking and of course we'll talk about the teas we are going to brew, indulging in our beloved leaves and their centuries-old history.
The course in English is held on Zoom: you will receive our tastebox with 20 teas that we will taste together, and we will always be available during the week to support your learning. Teas are shipped from Milan, Italy, and no custom fee or shipping fee is charged.
If for some reasons you cannot attend one or more classes, we will provide you with a recording.
At the end of the course we will release a digital certification by Eastern Leaves as per your participation.
