All About Tea Tour

Did you know that there are over 3,000 varieties of tea and it is the most consumed beverage in the world after water? This one-day tour from the Toronto area will travel to the Kitchener-Waterloo region and will educate you about the history and health benefits of tea.

The trip will start with a lecture from our professional tea-expert and speaker about the history and benefits of specific teas and then sample two teas. This will be followed by our private lunch included as part of the tour; naturally the lunch is a sumptuous high-tea experience! After tea, you will have a chance to visit the St. Jacobs Farmers' Market for a chance for you to do some shopping; maybe you will even find some teas at the market. And finally you will finish your day with a visit to a tea boutique that sells more types of teas than you can shake a tea-leaf at! The store will be offering a discount just for our group so perhaps all that knowledge you gained today will be put to good use while shopping for teas in this emporium.
