As Bird & Blend Guildford’s ChariTEA, they are kindly running a free tea blending workshop for our customers at their shop on Market Street. 

Join the Bird & Blend team for a fun, hands-on Tea Blending & Tasting Workshop, where you’ll sniff, swirl and sip your way through the world of tea! From fascinating history to bold flavours, this interactive session will level up your tea knowledge, fine-tune your taste buds, and spark your creativity as you craft your own custom blends.

What to expect:

🍹 Welcome Drink – Kick things off with a seasonal cocktail or mocktail – because every great tea adventure starts with a little sip of something special!

🙋‍♀️ Break The Ice – Get to know your fellow tea lovers with a fun, interactive tea matching game – a little friendly competition never hurt, right?

📜 Tea Origins & History – Travel back in time (no time machine needed!) as we uncover the fascinating journey of tea – from ancient traditions to your modern-day cuppa.

🍵 Guided Tea Tasting – Prepare your taste buds! You’ll sample nine unique teas, each showcasing a different blending style to spark inspiration for your own creations.

🫖 Group Blending Activity – Team up and put your tea blending skills to the test as we create a one-of-a-kind signature blend together – then sip and see how we did!

☕ Sticky Chai & Personal Blending – Get cosy with a warming sticky chai while crafting three personalised blends to take home and enjoy.

🍵 Matcha Demo & Tasting – Watch and learn as we whisk up the perfect matcha – then taste both a classic and a flavoured matcha to see which one steals your heart.

🛍️ Goody Bag & Shopping Time – Take home a tea tasting journal to jot down your flavour discoveries, plus time to browse and treat yourself to more tea goodies with an exclusive 10% off!

This workshop is free for everyone. As a small charity, we would be grateful if you’d consider choosing a ticket with a £5 donation which will help us to continue providing education, culture and community for all.
