I am a long time chai lover and brewer. I loved hearing about the history of chai, Chai Walli and the role chai plays in connecting communities today. The chai blends in the class box for home use are scrumptious! I picked up a couple of brewing tips as well. Thanks to Uppma and my fellow group members for a lovely Saturday morning :).
I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop and learned so much about chai. The 11 spice chai that I used was amazing - a beautiful blend. I cannot wait to try the others that came with the pack and the saucepan works very well - worth buying.Thank you Uppma for sharing your knowledge and skill.
This class provided a beautiful insight in the art of creating a chai blend and the meaning and use of different spices. It was very informative and a very enjoyable experience.
Loved attending the chai tea making class!! I learnt about the history or tea, spices and above all how to brew my own chai at home. Uppma was so welcoming and knowledgeable. A great way to meet friends and spend a chilly Sat morning :-)
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
This was a workshop which far outweighed my expectations. Uppma is a wonderfully passionate teacher who bursts with knowledge and enthusiasm. She’s very clear with guiding you through the process. The kit has a great selection of all types of blends. A lovely aromatic mindful way to start the weekend. Keen to learn more and share with family & friends.
Awesome class, great teacher. Very informative about the history of chai. We learnt so much.The house smells amazing.The chai tastes great. Highly recommend this class.
What an amazing workshop. As a chai (latte) lover and loyal follower of Chai Walli's Instagram page, it was really cool to have a look behind the scenes of this beautiful company. Especially since I'm travelling here from Europe and they made sure the course fit right in with my travels!Uppma was a lovely host and has a wealth of knowledge to share about the history, tradition, and serving of chai.The location is beautiful and easily reacheable from the city by bus.It's well worth the money, especially considering the amount of goodies we were given at the beginning of the class.
What a fantastic virtual team event! Uppma was a wonderful host and took the time to educate us on the history of chai and fun facts before going into the brewing process. I learned a lot and would highly recommend, even if you're not a regular tea drinker like myself. It was super interactive and personal, with Uppma checking on our brews and encouraging conversation. Everything was provided and packaged brilliantly which made for an easy set-up. Can't wait to make more chai in the future!
Fun and informative with delicious chaiInteractive class learning how to use your senses to differentiate how different spices blend to form the flavour profile of different teas.
Uppma is enthusiastic and informative on all things Chai. She went into detail with each spice ingredient including some I’ve never heard of before. There were some book recommendations and lovely memories from her travels to discover Chai. Would recommend, thank you!
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!
Uppma was fantastic and so down to earth. I found the class informative, incredibly relatable and very enjoyable! I enjoyed the chai and now learnt how I can correct my chai brewing at homeThank you and thank you for the chai chat xx it was a class that felt like a catch up with a friend!
The kit did not get delivered on time for my class. It was well worth the wait. Communication from Chai Walli was really good. I bought an additional pack as well. Learnt to make Chai the proper way and the packets of chai are great.
Uppma is a warm and welcoming facilitator with infectious enthusiasm for sharing the fascinating history and art of chai. We continue to enjoy this class every morning as we brew her spicy chai blends and the aromas fill our home.
Uppma's Art of Chai class is a beautiful sensory experience. My home is full of the spicy aromas of India, my head is brimming with stories of tea through time and continents, and my tummy is replete with a pot of her 11-Spice Chai goodness. I recommend her classes 100%+ for a joyful life.
This was a fantastic experience and I learnt more from Uppma about spices, tea and all other great things than I thought I could. Best of all I learnt how to make an awesome chai from the Chai Walli blends!So glad I took part today and was taught from Uppma's wealth of knowledge and love of chai.
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 beforeThe 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.
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.
I have been making Chai for years and only realised I had been making it incorrectly! Uppma’s workshop was so informative and fun. What a great way to spend my Sunday morning not only learning how to brew chai but also learning so much about different spices. I highly recommend this workshop. Thank you Uppma!
Uppma was a delightful and insightful teacher. Learning the art of chai was an intimate exchange of knowledge from a kind and smart teacher. The ingredients and package are unique, high quality and thoughtfully arranged. I loved it!
Uppma's charisma and knowledge of chai making is immediately evident in the way that she relates to her students. I thoroughly enjoyed my session with her as she gave us a tour of the art of making chai. Thank you
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!
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.
Wonderfully informative, with a potted history of tea, and spices, presented by a lovely person. The chai samples were delicious and plentiful, and the chai-making fun. A pleasant 2 hours that lightened lockdown.
Amazing class, Uppma has so much history about tea that was really interesting to learn and her passion for tea is very evident. Higly reccommend this class.
What a terrific way to spend a morning! Chai Walli founder, Uppma, is incredibly knowledgeable and made the class informative and lots of fun. I walked away with tons of new understanding about tea and spices, and practiced some important techniques to improve my chai brew. I highly recommend this workshop.
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.
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.
