Five teas in every kit, with plenty left over

Every attendee gets a box of five different teas, ten packs in all. Your team brews three together during the event and keeps the rest to enjoy afterward.

Everyone tastes the same tea at the same time.

Everyone brews together and compares notes as they go. Tom shows the group how to taste like a professional (yes, that includes slurping), how to brew each tea properly and how the flavours differ. The whole group stays together, with no breakout rooms.

You send a guest list. We handle the rest.

Send us the addresses, and we ship and track a kit to every attendee two weeks before your event. We send the calendar invites, video call link and reminders, and on the day we run the event. We ship across the US, Canada and the UK, for groups of 8 to 2,000.

Meet your host

I'm Tom, the Vancouver Coffee Snob. I run Canada's largest tea and coffee blog, and from 2019 to 2023 I hosted every major coffee event in Vancouver.

If you're the one planning your team's event, you know the hard part. You need something everyone will actually enjoy, including the people who skip the coffee.

So I keep it simple. No jargon, just three teas and a few tricks that make every cup taste better. I've hosted groups of up to 1,000 people this way, and taught C-suite teams one on one.

By the end, your team will know what they like and why. I'd like your team to be next.
