• 5/5 from Meg Royal, attended Apr 2024: Thank you Chai Walli for an amazing class. It was insightful and interactive as well as practical. A real learning experience for me. I am recommending your classes to everyone I am off to see a client this week and I have promised to make her some chai. Honestly making chai any other way is now not as nice as making it on the stove. I love love love it :-) I'm looking forward to your spice classes

• 5/5 from Sacha Kitson, attended Jul 2022: Very enjoyable, I now feel confident of making a proper chai at home. Great range of flavours in the kit too!
• 5/5 from Jane Bettridge, attended Jul 2022: Fantastic class. I learnt a lot. The atmosphere was warm and friendly. We had a few tech issues but this didn't cause any hassles. We each made a chai of our choice (I made a decaf 11 Spice Chai) and also a Turmeric Chai. The Turmeric Chai was astonishing because although I've had it many times before at cafes, this version was so warm and nourishing - just like a hug. The taste of both brews was so much better than any I've had before. Learning the history was fascinating and inspiring. So well presented and I enjoyed meeting the other people. Many thanks!

I recommend her classes 100%+ for a joyful life.
• 5/5 from Bishoy Hannah, attended Oct 2021: This was a fantastic experience and I learnt more from Uppma about spices, tea and all other great things than I thought I could.

• 5/5 from Chiara Tomassoni, attended Oct 2021: Even if you have the products from Chai Walli already, or have brewed chai a thousand times beforeI highly recommend doing the workshop! I had never been able to make my chai taste this good before The workshop was very informative - including the history of tea and spices, as well as some of the properties of the spices themselves. It was so interestingand it made me appreciate the flavour and the meaning of experiencing chai so much more.
• 5/5 from Lyn Purdy, attended Oct 2021: This was a very informative session and beautifully presented by our lovely, cheerful teacher. She knew so much about the origins, flavours, benefits etc of each spice and was happy to share this knowledge with us. The lesson, more like a chat, went for a very quick 2 hours. The box of goodies enables us to try many flavours of chai and now we know how and when to use them. A definite thumbs up for this class.
• 5/5 from Radhika Seimon, attended Oct 2021: I have been making Chai for years and only realised I had been making it incorrectly! Uppma’s workshop was so informative and fun.

• 5/5 from Shireen Lenormand, attended Sep 2021: What a fabulous way to spend 2 hours on a cold, rainy Sunday in Melbourne - connecting with others over the art of chai, and cradling a warm mug of fragrant deliciousness at the end! I loved this class with Uppma, who was so generous with her knowledge and passion for this ancient art and tradition. Her approach means this class is great for complete beginners to those who are already experimenting with their own blends, and the class kit was so beautifully packaged and of the highest quality. I've been enjoying multiple cups of chai a day since the class and can't recommend the class and ClassBento highly enough! Thank you for a wonderful experience!
• 5/5 from Jacqui Roberts, attended Sep 2021: I have thoroughly enjoyed this class. Uppma is so generous with her time and knowledge. Looking forward to any further classes to expand my knowledge and interests in the world of Chai. Thank you so much Uppma. Would definitely recommend this class.

• 5/5 from Matilda, attended Aug 2021: Uppma from Chai Walli ran an incredible at home introduction to the art of chai. Definitely one of the best classes I’ve done. A beautiful insight into traditional culture.
• 5/5 from James Dalton, attended Aug 2021: It was such a pleasure to explore the origins of chai with a leading chai expert like Uppma Virdi from Chai Walli. The Art of Chai class was the most wonderful experience to deepen my own understanding of authentic masala chai. Uppma guided us through the varieties and flavours of chai, its history and culture, which Indian herbs and spices are traditionally used as well as their uses in Ayurvedic culture, and how to blend and brew the perfect cup (in the most perfect chai saucepan!). The most interesting part of the class was hearing Uppma talk about the creation of Chai Walli, the beginnings of the 'Chai Crusaders' movement against bad chai. Uppma is just an amazing being and her passion and knowledge of spices is second to none. I’ve been making and drinking chai for decades, and never really knew how to brew it to perfection. Now that I do, I can’t stop drinking it. It’s not even been three days and I’ve finished two whole packets! Do yourself a favour and take this course. Buy the extra chai packets, because you will need them. The saucepan is a must also. Thank you again Uppma for an amazing afternoon and for imparting all of your knowledge.
• 5/5 from Kristy Micallef, attended Aug 2021: Absolutely loved making my own chai whilst guided by Uppma, I could ask questions in real time and show her my brewing progress and get tips along the way. Learning how to brew it via stove top is a skill that I'll be perfecting whilst in and out of lockdown. It's so nice learning about different spices and getting the opportunity to ask questions about how to use them. I had a great time, and got to (virtually) meet fellow chai lovers from around Australia too. It was such a lovely start to my week ahead.
