• 5/5 from Anna Xia, attended Sep 2026: Fun enlightening way to spend the weekend sampling quality teas and listening to stories from a tea sommelier with a lifetime breadth of experience. Impala and peacock stock amazing high grade teas that will keep you coming back for more. Once you’ve had the best it’s hard to go back to the regular stuff at the supermarket. A truly refined art form and pleasure. Thanks!

• 5/5 from Anna Xia, attended Jan 2025: Ruan and Sarah run a boutique tea company Impala & Peacock that offers a range of high quality, true to origin, naturally sourced, zero artificial flavouring and additive teas that are sure to delight your tastebuds. Certified tea sommeliers and professional competitors in tea tasting competitions, they share their precisely attuned scent and taste senses with our untrained noses and tongues today. I’ve already been to this class quite a few years ago but coming back is always a joyful occasion as I get to fill my cupboards with their gorgeous teas and blend one of my own during the class.
