The Private Tea Table: Bespoke Tea Artistry for Exclusive Gatherings

New Experience

A private tea gathering built around your occasion. Wen designs a Cha-Xi (茶席), a tea table set like a small work of art, and hosts an unhurried celebration of rare Taiwanese teas for you and your guests. Compared with our standard session, it offers more in every way: setting, teas, pairings, performance, guests and time. What makes it special -A bespoke tea table: handmade textiles and bookcloth, fresh flowers and teaware chosen to suit your occasion and the season -A welcome cold brew of a rare, high-grade tea, served in champagne flutes -An exclusive premium tea menu, beyond our standard selection -Artisan pairings: every dessert handmade by a pâtisserie chef -Clay kettle to boil water for optimal water texture -Dual-cup tasting with three cup-flipping techniques: the classic flip, plus two more theatrical flips not in our standard session -An extra Gongfu brewing demonstration, including the traditional “patrolling the city” pour, sharing each infusion evenly across every cup -A hands-on moment where guests try brewing and handling the teaware themselves Fully tailored: guest numbers and length set around your occasion, not limited to 6 guests and 1.5 hours Each gathering begins with a consultation about your occasion, guests and the mood you want, so no two tea tables are the same. It suits milestone birthdays, anniversaries, intimate celebrations and hosting special guests. A site visit can be arranged to ensure smooth logistics and quality of service of the day.

Tea Culture Experience - Taiwanese Tea Artistry

Wen is a London-based tea practitioner and tea culture presenter who shares Cha-Yi (茶藝), the Taiwanese art of tea, through hosted tastings, talks and cultural events. Driven by the belief that tea is far more than a beverage, Wen presents it as a meeting point of history, culture, aesthetics and science. Her background in art history shapes how she brings each tea to life, from where it is grown and how it is crafted to the care behind every pour. Her aim is to show Londoners what Taiwan offers beyond bubble tea. Every session is brewed and hosted by Wen herself, using traditional teaware and the Taiwanese dual-cup tasting set, with one cup for aroma and one for sipping. Guests learn to notice aroma, flavour and finish while discovering each tea’s origin and character, alongside thoughtfully chosen food pairings. Her loose-leaf teas are sourced directly from Taiwan, from Baozhong and Dong Ding to Oriental Beauty and Lishan High Mountain Oolong. Wen hosts intimate home gatherings, community and cultural events, workshops and corporate occasions. Sessions are relaxed, alcohol-free and welcoming to beginners and enthusiasts alike, with everything taken care of, from set-up to pack-down.
