School of tea

The Tea Emporium features Canada’s first School of Tea.

A serene setting invites you into the fascinating world of tea with all its rich history and flavours.

A variety of different tea seminars and tastings are offered on a bi-weekly basis.  The schedule for April - July 2010 is listed below and is subject to change depending on our customer responses.  Seminars start at $25.00 per person and include sampling, course materials and a little take home gift.  Private tastings can be arranged with a minimum of eight students.

Separate to our bi-weekly seminars we are now offering The Tea Specialist Certificate.  This certificate is designed to offer students a thorough understanding of tea, where it comes from, how it is processed, its history and social impact as well as the health benefits.  This course will be offered over a two day period.  Please follow the link for more information:  Tea Specialist Certificate.

We have also created together with The Tea Council of Canada and George Brown College Canada's first Tea Sommelier Program.  Please contact George Brown College for information on this Certificate.
