We were only 2 participants and had a great time. Our class went much longer than officially planned, because the conversation just kept flowing. Denise is doing it out of passion and you can really feel it. Highly recommend!

Denise did a wonderful job introducing the Taiwanese tea ceremony at a teahouse. She explained the teaware, presented six varieties of tea leaves, and we tasted two different infusions. Our conversation flowed easily, and we even ended up chatting about topics beyond tea, which made the whole experience feel personal and enjoyable!

If you want to learn more about Taiwanese tea, its culture and to experience it for yourself, Denise is the person you are looking for. As a layperson, Denise opened the doors to understanding and appreciating tea culture. She's also a great person to chat about different topics and to learn a little more about Taiwan as a native.

My husband and I are visiting from USA and while we both enjoy tea, we have no idea how to tell good tea from bad tea nor how to properly prepare, serve, and enjoy it. Denise has a wealth of knowledge and a passion for tea. She explained everything in a very approachable way. More importantly, she’s just a really kind person and easy to talk to! Come for the tea experience, leave with a new friend ☺️

I had a great time with Denise who made me feel at ease (me being a newbie tea lover). The 2 hours flew by and I learned a lot about Taiwanese teas and the art of tea making and drinking! Absolutely recommend!

We learned so much from Denise, so much about Taiwan tea. Tasty too! But she also gave us such interesting local insight on Taiwan, the culture, the city, and so much more! I wish we had booked her earlier in the trip instead of towards the end as she gave us several great local recommendations in and around the city. Thank you Denise!

Very informative, host very friendly

The session was very informative and with the Japanese tea background I still managed to learn a lot about tea itself. This was also a great introduction to understanding the tea production in Taiwan. I would definitely recommend it to anyone curious about Taiwan :)

that was a great experience, we can highly recommend the tea course

Denise was an outstanding teacher, we can highly recommend the course

This experience was the highlight of my trip to Taiwan! I learned so much and had a lot of fun with Denise. Her beautiful personality and tea expertise made the tasting unforgettable! If you’re interested in Taiwanese tea, I strongly recommend starting your trip with this experience. The information from Denise is invaluable for tasting or purchasing tea in Taiwan. If I’m ever in Taipei again— I will do it again in a heartbeat! Love from SF ♥️

I learned a lot about tea and tasted 4 different types of tea. Class is customized and provides excellent knowledge.

I can't say enough good things about Denise and this class! We learned so much, and the teas she brought from her personal collection were delicious. After the class, Denise went above and beyond with suggestions on how/where to buy tea in the city. If you're debating whether to book this class, do it!

Denise was an incredible host! After a long day, it was very nice to learn about Taiwanese teas. We had many questions and Denise was very thoughtful and knowledgable on everything tea! Would highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn more about tea. Can't wait to share our new tea knowledge with friends!

This was definitely my favorite thing I did in Taiwan! Denise was so kind and informative about tea and Taiwan! I learned so much about tea, how to know if a tea is good quality, the Taiwanese tea ceremony, and Taiwan! Denise makes the time fun with her funny jokes, interesting stories, and good conversation, and she has the best expertise of tea of anyone I've ever met! She provided delicious tea, snacks, and beautiful tea utensils, she even gave my a fresh lychee when I said I hadn't had any Taiwanese fruits :) she is a friendly host and does not try to sell you anything but only educates you on whatever you want to know about tea, I am happy to have met here here. The space was beautiful and comfortable as well, and convenient to get to by metro. I would definitely recommend this experience and I would do it again next time I am in Taiwan!

Denise provided a wealth of good information leading into the ceremony. The teas were of high quality and the ceremony was performed with elegance and grace. It was well worth the time

Denise is an absolute delight to talk with! not only did I learn lots about tea and Taiwanese tea ceremonies, I also felt like I made a friend. as someone who tends to be more on the introverted side, I still felt very comfortable talking with Denise for hours! it is very clear that she loves what she does and is highly knowledgeable in the area (she has even won prestigious awards in the Taiwanese tea scene, so it felt like I was speaking with someone of a high caliber like Gordon Ramsay haha) in between the expert info, we would talk about our lives and share advice - it truly felt like I was just talking to someone I've known for a very long time. thank you for the great time, I will definitely attend Denise's session again if I am in Taiwan as there's still so much to explore even after 2-3 hours together. you also walk away with a vial of your favourite tea during the session, which was the cherry on top. if you are looking for a deep dive into Taiwanese tea, this is the perfect space to spend your day in Taipei.

It’s a fun class. I enjoyed it very much. The tea host Denise is very friendly and love to sharing everything with us. Definitely recommend it to my friends.

Thank you so much Denise for sharing your knowledge is such a friendly way ! Lot of information about tea ceremony but also Taiwanese tea ! I had a great time

Denise who conducted the class was very personable. She had a write-up describing the tea ceremony as well as the different types of tea and what makes them different from each other. I knew very little about tea (especially tea that doesn’t come in a bag) and came away with a new appreciation for what makes a good tea. The class was fun, enjoyable and would highly recommend it.

Denise was awesome, super personable, and knowledgeable about Taiwanese tea and tea in general. If you’re looking for a genuine, authentic experience in Taiwan and want to learn about something very important in Taiwanese culture, this is for you.

We learned, we laughed, we grew our knowledge of tea. This was a particularly wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

Denise is very friendly and easy to talk with, making a private experience very comfortable. Knowledgable and passionate about tea, but also flexible to follow the guest mood. i was all time asking questions, so she went with the flow, instead of follow as per planned. I loved it, if I come back to Taipei, I would book it again.
