Course Tea 1

General
Are you an avid tea drinker and regularly find yourself in the tea shop hesitating which tea to buy? Do you work with tea professionally and would you like to advise your customers better? Do you really want to know what tea is, where it comes from and what you can do with it? Then it’s time to gain fundamental knowledge and immerse yourself in the world behind your daily cup of tea!

In the Tea 1 training course, we tell you the story of how tea gets from the tea garden into your teapot. We look at the origins of tea, the processing of tea and the differences that make for a black or a green tea.

Ik heb een superleuke en leerzame dag gehad waarin we volop thee geproefd hebben en we veel inspiratie hebben gekregen over verschillende thee soorten.
David Cousins - Hotel Des Indes23 January 2023
Zeer interessant en direct toepasbaar thuis en op mijn werk. Thee 1 bevat de basiskennis en vaardigheden die je nodig hebt om altijd goede thee te kunnen zetten. Voldoende tools om zelf verder mee te gaan.

Miranda is een zeer kundige cursusleidster. Ze weet goed te schakelen tussen de theorie en de praktijk van thee & thee zetten. Hierdoor vloog de tijd voorbij. Dit smaakt dus naar meer ;)

Praktijk en theorie door elkaar, veel zelf aan de slag en ervaringen opdoen. Ik heb veel geleerd op een leuke dag.

Wat je leert zijn de verschillende thee/kruiden soorten en hiervan de zet methodes. En hoe arbeidsintensief het plukken van een goede thee is.
