For nearly four decades, he has sourced, tasted and refined the Higgins tea collection with the same discernment and dedication that defines our coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"630\" data-end=\"906\"\u003eThese evenings are intentionally intimate. Hosted within our Duke Street shop after closing, with very small numbers, the setting allows for conversation, questions and a truly personal tasting experience. It is not a demonstration from afar, but an exchange around the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"908\" data-end=\"1222\"\u003eYou will be welcomed with a Tea-Tini, served either as a cocktail or in a non-alcoholic version, before settling in for a guided exploration of exceptional loose leaf teas. Together, you will taste across key tea styles, discovering how origin, elevation, seasonality and craftsmanship shape flavour and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1224\" data-end=\"1489\"\u003eDavid will guide you through the his tea tasting experience, showing you how to assess aroma, body, balance and finish, while sharing the stories behind each tea. The evening moves at an unhurried pace, allowing space to refine the palate and deepen understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1491\" data-end=\"1620\"\u003e“David Higgins was a super-knowledgable host and treated us to many fascinating stories alongside a selection of wonderful teas.” Siu-Lan, Tea Tasting Masterclass Participant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1622\" data-end=\"1809\"\u003eThe masterclass concludes with a Tea Taster Kit to take home, including three carefully selected teas, tasting cards and a brewing guide, so the experience may continue at your own table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1618\" data-end=\"1655\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1618\" data-end=\"1631\"\u003eDuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 2 hours\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1657\" data-end=\"1739\"\u003ePlease note that event tickets are delivered by email.
