Spring Steeping: Tales of Romance, Love and Tea

During this Masterclass, you’ll be ushered into the tasting room beneath the venerable and haunted Twinings Tea Shop on the Strand to explore the dark and haunted past of tea around the world. Shiver at ghost stories from Chinese folklore, squirm as we tell you about the spirits of our beloved tea shop and feel the chill run down your spine as we explore the grisly fate of those fell afoul of tea smugglers on England’s shores… This session covers several real events and some that are truly gruesome. Some elements of the session may be considered upsetting and will be preceeded by a short warning thereof.
