Teacher was energetic and passionate. Pre and post class follow-up was excellent, and responded to individual participant interests, too. Content on history of chai and herb uses interesting and memorable. Practiced making several chai tea blends. Nice nibbles included for tasting. Even troubleshooting tips. Looking forward to developing my own blend with the big box of sample teas. Highly recommend this class.

I really enjoyed my class with you Uppma. I loved how passionate you were about good Chai. It was interesting to hear about the different tea regions and what each spice added to the final brew. The class, being small with just 5 people, made it more personal. It was good that we were all able to make a Chai. They were all very enjoyable. I now feel more confident to try making my own blend. Thank you.

Our instructor was exceptionally knowledgeable and perfectly balanced providing technical information, historical context and personal stories that really brought the world of chai to life. The experience was small, intimate and hands on so you really got focused attention. We were exceptionally pleasantly surprised with the generous quantity of sample items included in our packs. We came to the experience wanting to learn to make our own chai blends but came out with a whole new appreciation of the history and cultural significance of masala chai. Would highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves chai!

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 :).

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

Dominique Theunissen • Apr 2023
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.

Hayley Yaser • Feb 2023
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!

Anna Xia • Aug 2022
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!
Sacha Kitson • Jul 2022
Very enjoyable, I now feel confident of making a proper chai at home. Great range of flavours in the kit too!
Jane Bettridge • 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!
Natalie Doyle • Jul 2022

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.
Shannon Anima • Oct 2021
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.
Bishoy Hannah • 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. 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.
Chiara Tomassoni • 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 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.
Lyn Purdy • 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.
Radhika Seimon • 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. 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!

Shireen Lenormand • 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!
Jacqui Roberts • Sep 2021
