Designed for small groups, the experience is calm, welcoming, and gently social, creating space to slow down, connect, and enjoy tea together.

  • 5/5 from Ada Chen, attended Jul 2026: Bec was really really welcoming and friendly. I felt so comfortable like talking to a friend. She's very knowledgeable, I've definitely learnt a lot about teas, something that I've been wanting to learn more about. I loved the private class perks - bigger variery of teas to try. Would love to experience it again! Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Khalil Gareeboo, attended Jul 2026: Amazing Chinese tea ceremony and tasting experience from the hostess Bec, who was so kind, welcoming and courteous towards the guests. The selection of teas served by Bec were unique yet delightful in their own ways. Highly recommend, especially for intimate settings.
  • 5/5 from Evangeline Leighton, attended Jun 2026: A truly wonderful experience! I loved Bec’s passion and depth of knowledge about tea. Her enthusiasm was contagious and made the session both enjoyable and informative. The relaxed setting allowed us to take our time, appreciate each tea, and discover the unique flavours and stories behind them. It was such a special experience. And I’m so happy to see someone sharing this beautiful culture with the community and helping more people appreciate the art of tea. Thank you for such a lovely session!
  • 5/5 from Joel Tankard, attended Jun 2026: Learnt a lot about tea and sampled various unique teas. Bec took the time to make it an enjoyable experience, I appreciated her attention to detail and the snacks provided.
  • 5/5 from Henad Abboud, attended Jun 2026: Had such an amazing time and got to try so many types of tea that I hadn't had before! Bec is so knowledgeable and has such a calming presence. Highly recommend for tea lovers! 10/10
  • 5/5 from Daryl Wong, attended Jun 2026: bec leads a distinctly peaceful and intention tea ceremony - very much like how I've experienced them overseas! The mindfulness of the ceremony is apparent from the start with a singing bowl and meditation. Bec is so thoroughly in touch with the teas she serves, and I was really impressed with how she balances education about the tea characteristics whilst being able to manage the different brewing/steeping times for all the teas! the snacks are a perfect pairing too!
  • 5/5 from Cathy Shi, attended Jun 2026: Great experience. I grew up in China and have attended several tea ceremonies before, but Bec’s ceremony still surprised me. It was much more than tea tasting—it felt like yoga for the mind, bringing a deep sense of relaxation. Bec used exceptional teas I had never experienced before, and I also learned a lot about tea along the way. Highly recommended.
  • 5/5 from Chris Brown, attended May 2026: Absolutely awesome would very much recommend this ceremony to anyone Bec is simply amazing

Hi, I’m Bec — and Tea With Bec began as a way to share the quiet joy I’ve found in traditional Chinese tea and ceremony.
Having moved from China to Australia as a child, tea has become a meaningful way to reconnect with my heritage, celebrate its culture, and find calm in everyday life.
I’ve collected rare artisan teas from across China, each with its own story, aroma, and nourishing properties. I host intimate tea ceremonies and tastings in my tea studio, as well as pop-up events such as Botanica Lane Kirrawee.
Each session is a fun, mindful and immersive experience where you’ll:
Learn about teas, their history, flavours, and benefits:
  • Savor aroma, texture, and flavour of premium artisan teas
  • Enjoy thoughtfully curated snacks that enhance each tea
  • Slow down, connect with yourself, and share meaningful moments with others.
If you’re looking for a calm, enriching, and cultural experience, I’d love to welcome you into this ritual of tea!
