A private tasting of the six tea types, from white to pu’er, with teas from China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and beyond. Guided by a certified tea sommelier.
All tea comes from one plant. How it is grown and processed makes six very different cups.
China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and more: how mountains, mist and sunlight shape each cup.
How oxidation, roasting and timing create aroma, colour and depth.
Aroma before the sip, flavour after it. Notice balance, texture and temperature.
Leave knowing which tea is yours. Every tea we pour is in our shop.
Dry leaf first: shape, colour and scent, before any water.
Aroma before the first sip. Learn to tell what you smell from what you taste.
Six teas side by side. Notice sweetness, body, texture and finish.
Score each tea for aroma and taste. Sensory training you can repeat at home.
Your scores show which tea is yours. Take it home from our shop if you like.
We visit tea gardens and factories to choose the teas we pour. What you taste at our table, we have tasted where it was made.
No knowledge needed. You will leave knowing what you like, and why.
Taste the six tea types side by side and finally see how they connect.
A quiet, personal afternoon away from the usual city sights.
A gift card from CHF 50 lets them book their own tasting.
“No two cups are ever the same. I want you to taste why.”
A calm, guided tasting, designed for presence, not performance. You learn, smell and taste what real tea is, and leave knowing which one is yours.
Shane Kim · Certified tea sommelier · Founder, KTeaShopWe bought the Oolong tea and the ruby-red tea with honey-sweet, fruity notes. We tasted many more teas, and it was genuinely hard to choose because they were all so good. In the end, we picked these two because we love the natural sweetness of the ruby-red tea, and the Oolong was unlike any Oolong we’d tried before. That said, we can wholeheartedly recommend every tea we tasted - absolutely fabulous.
My Boyfriend gifted me the Tea-Tasting and we had a wonderful time! Thank you very much for this experience! Shane is really an exceptional host. Very very professional with a huge wide range of knowledge. You can feel his passion for the teas, the cultures and everything in between.
I had a wonderful tea tasting experience with Shane. His passion, knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm made every moment enjoyable and inspiring. More than just learning about tea, I felt completely at home, as if I had found a place where I truly belong. It was a special experience that I'll always remember. Highly recommended!
