“Amazing experience, super welcoming hosts and had the pleasure of trying Korean green tea and to learn all about the history, cultural significance and the agricultural methods!”

“Thank you very much for bringing the tea culture to Zurich and offering this glimpse into the Korean world. Everything was well thought and presented in a special way with such a delicate sense for details.”

“A wonderful experience shared with a friend. A culinary, cultural, and meditative journey in South Korea. Thank you so much.”

“We had a fantastic experience at the Korean tea ceremony at the KTea Shop. Shane and Nicole were wonderful hosts and we learned a lot about tea and Korean culture.”

“We tasted many more teas, and it was genuinely hard to choose because they were all so good… the Oolong was unlike any Oolong we’d tried before.”

“Besonders schön war, dass es nicht nur ums Probieren ging, sondern auch um Achtsamkeit. Wenn man sich bewusst fragt, wie der Tee schmeckt, ist man automatisch im Moment.”

“I especially loved discovering the different kinds of matcha and exploring my own preferences in terms of flavor, texture, and taste. More than just a tasting, it felt like a very personal and memorable experience.”

“Shane is really an exceptional host… You can feel his passion for the teas, the cultures and everything in between. The combination of the Tea Tasting and Shane’s friendly and calm warmth left us in awe and filled with inner peace.”

“Whether you’re completely new to tea or already know your way around high-quality teas, he’ll happily dedicate as much time as needed to guide you… You never feel rushed - it’s a true tea experience, not just a tasting.”

“Shane took a lot of time to introduce us to several different types of matcha, explaining not just the flavors but also what to pay attention to when tasting.”

“The sommelier transported us into a time bubble allowing us to focus on ourselves, to forget the difficulties of life, to savor nature in all its forms. I came away with tears in my eyes and taste buds satisfied!”

“He provided all the information in a very digestible way, was welcoming and didn’t make me feel bad for saying I wasn’t a ‘matcha person’ in the beginning, and even managed to turn me into one by the end!”

“I didn’t know that it was possible to connect that much emotion, wisdom and guidance with drinking tea. Shane is an absolute professional.”

“Shane as the tea master provides fascinating insights into the world of teas, and Nicole expertly pairs them with handmade desserts… Their storytelling approach is unique and cannot be put into simple words - you need to experience it by yourself.”

“From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt calm, intimate, and thoughtfully curated - perfect for slowing down and truly appreciating tea… It felt educational and meditative.”

“I can’t imagine conducting a sensory evaluation in an online training session, as even small factors like different water can significantly influence the results.”

“I have to thank Shane for immediately creating a magical space where I could experience the full culture and beauty of tea.”

“The hosts were incredibly knowledgeable, explaining the cultural significance and history behind every step of the tea-making process… The entire event felt like a peaceful, immersive journey into asian tea culture.”

“Every course was paired with an indulgent sweet… And all of this paired with a rich history and background for each course. We were impressed by the amount of thoughtfulness, attention to detail and preparation work that went into this!”

“As opposed to only being a culinary highlight, it is a real “experience”, involving storytelling, reflection, and exchange.”

“Both the tea and the desserts were excellent — refined and perfectly balanced. The sommelier has impressive knowledge and a fascinating outlook on life.”

“The products were of high quality and the menu included items that you usually can’t find in Zurich. Overall, it was like escaping to Asia for the time of an afternoon!”

“You will learn what there is to know about tea, taste and feel new flavors that will take you far… It is not just about learning something new, but stopping for a moment to think about what is important to us that we have forgotten.”

“The pairing with the story telling about the history, culture and production of tea was very interesting and informative, we definitely learned a lot!”

“This workshop was a suspended moment of calm, peace, serenity, to discover the philosophy and spirituality of matcha, in a space of listening and kindness, all guided by a fine connoisseur and tea sommelier.”
