All of our teas are rare, but some are rarer than others - in our latest Masterclass Henrietta will be looking at some of our rarest finds from across the world.

These are teas and herbs that are produced in tiny amounts - making them very hard to come by, and extremely precious.

You may have tried a lapsang souchong and wonder why we have included this tea, but our Rare Lapsang comes from within the protected zone of the Wuyishan – an ancient forest where no visitors are allowed and only a few families are permitted to remain and continue their ancient craft of teamaking.

The cherry blossom comes from just two trees; the saffron from Henrietta’s blend comes from saffron growers in almost unreachable parts of Kashmir.

Henrietta will give you an insight into why she selected these teas for Rare Tea Company and tell you a little about the people behind them. She will also explore how to infuse them and do a live tasting discussing their astonishing flavours.

Pick up a bundle with every tea featured in the tasting and get a complementary ticket to this masterclass.

Emma P. ★★★★★

The way Henrietta breaks down each tea’s origin story made the whole tasting feel like a journey, and the pacing between samples is perfect for savoring. I was genuinely surprised by how much depth a single herb can have when she points out the subtle notes.

Emma ★★★★★

I’d tried plenty of tea courses before, but Henrietta’s way of walking through each leaf’s origin story made the rare finds feel personal, not just expensive. The session on herbs I’d never even heard of was the highlight for me.

Samuel Y. ★★★★★

The pacing between rare teas and herbs kept me curious the whole session, and Henrietta’s explanations made each sip feel like a small discovery. I’ve already re-brewed the two herbal samples twice at home, they’re that good.
