Pour le même prix

ou à peu près, que les cours en ligne Tea/Thé 101 dont je parlais hier, il y a cette formation d'un jour offerte par une plantation de thé.

Fancy yourself as a tea buff? Tea guru and pioneer Jonathon Jones will be hosting 'Tea Takes on the World' at School House on the Tregothnan Estate in Cornwall - 20th February
Oups! Ce n'était pas la première journée du genre et sûrement pas la dernière.

This is the ultimate treat for tea fanatics, offering the rare chance to see the UK's first and only tea plantations. The beautiful Wild Escape property will be transformed into a 'Tea School,' where we are inviting a limited amount of people to attend the day event to learn more about the world of tea.

The day will begin at 10am with an introduction on Britain's tea history and future, how and where the Camellia sinensis grows, and the manufacture of teas.

A stroll to the new plantation at the Himalayan Valley plus an exploration of the herbal tea gardens at Barn Close will brew up an appetite for lunch: a delicious Cornish feast of local delicacies including pasties and cream teas.

The afternoon session will focus on the story from bush to cup, the differences in loose leaf and tea bags, tea and health, perfect brewing, and why men need to 'man up' and drink more tea!

The day will conclude with a forum and tea tasting certificates will be rewarded. Attendees will be well equipped to attend Jane Pettigrew's and Tim Clifton's Masterclasses in London or Tregothnan at a later date.
£95.00 (billet d'avion non inclus)
 (Ces Masterclasses à Londres coûtent le double, durent une journée au Chesterfield Hotel et incluent le thé, le repas du midi, l'afternoon tea, le plus récent livre de Jane, entre autres.)

Plus près d'ici, à un billet de métro en fait, commençait hier Oups! une formation destinée aux professionnels de la restauration. $200 pour 10 heures de cours échelonnées sur les 5 mardis de mars. Il y en aura d'autres, sûrement.
