Since 1707, we have been purveyors of the world’s finest tea – from our famous blends to rare discoveries from every corner of the tea-growing map.
Now we’re funnelling three centuries’ worth of tea obsession into a series of masterclasses in our store at The Royal Exchange. Over the course of an hour, guests will hear about the history of tea, and learn about its journey from leaf to the shop floor. You’ll hear about tea drinking ‘etiquette’, although traditionalists be warned – you may just find that we encourage you to throw off the shackles of tradition and try something altogether unexpected.
Be prepared for tastings at our steampunks served by our in-house tearistas – and since no tea is an island, you’ll also discover their perfect biscuit pairings served alongside. We also won’t be afraid to answer those necessary, hard-hitting questions: how do you dunk a biscuit properly?
It’s always nice to have a cup of tea (or several). Following your exploration into the world of Fortnum’s tea, you’ll have the chance to enjoy our most delicious tradition – Afternoon Tea at our Bar & Restaurant in the stunning courtyard at The Royal Exchange.
Just ten spots are available, so if you’re thirsty for knowledge – or perhaps simply for an expertly made cup of tea – we recommend you book your spot swiftly.
