Tea tastings with Tulipwood Teas allow you to see, smell, touch and most importantly savour the subtle differences of each fine loose tea we offer. Just as there is not only one white wine and one red wine, so it is with tea. There are literally hundred and hundreds of different teas. All come from the same plant, but each has its own unique qualities.

By attending numerous tea tastings and seminars, Leslie Allen, owner of Tulipwood Teas has perfected her craft, and developed her palate. Now she offers tea tastings so others can appreciate different fine loose teas.

“Even in the realm of black tea, which we're all so used to drinking, there are so many possibilities and different tastes and aromas. It's a wonderful world to explore and that's what I like to get people to do,” she says. “It gives me a lot of pleasure to see people really enjoy something.”

The tea tastings give people an opportunity to learn about those differences. It also gives them an opportunity to try different teas without having to buy a large quantity. Tulipwood Teas offers samples of loose leaf tea for $2.00.
