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 January - March 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 a Tea Appreciation Certificate and Tea Sommelier Certification. Please contact George Brown College for information on this Certificate.
