Everything you need to know about infusing loose leaf tea perfectly at home. An accessible, unpretentious and wholly enjoyable celebration of loose leaf tea.

Hosted by Henrietta Lovell @raretealady as part of our digital masterclass series.

The aim of this tea class is to give you the expertise to infuse any loose leaf tea, and the confidence to extract the best flavours from the best tea leaves without wasting a drop.

In this class you will be able to ask real time questions and learn the simple tricks that can transform a very good cup of tea into something exceptional.

Over the last 16 years Henrietta has taught the teams behind some of the best hotels and restaurants across the world. From Afternoon Tea at Claridge’s, to 3 Michelin starred restaurants including Gordon Ramsay’s Royal Hospital Road London to The Modern in New York and Meadowood in California. She certainly knows what she’s talking about.

But please don’t be intimidated – she has also seduced many tea novices into to becoming tea addicts through the sheer delight of exploring lovely leaves. This is not a stuffy tutorial to intimidate the uninitiated - but a joyous and inclusive celebration.

Julian ★★★★★

Henrietta’s warmth comes through even on video, and the way she breaks down water temperature and steep times finally made my tea taste like the fancy cafés. I’ve already rewatched the infusion section twice and my morning cuppa is noticeably less bitter now.

Michael L. ★★★★★

The pacing is perfect for a beginner — Henrietta breaks down steeping times and water temps without ever making you feel silly for asking. I went from random bag tea to actually tasting the difference in my first cup after just one session.

Brian ★★★★★

I’d brewed tea for years but always guessed at the timing—this course finally made the whole process click, and the way Henrietta explains water temperature and leaf amounts is so clear. I immediately made a better cup afterward, no fancy equipment needed.
