By Order of Tea programmes are thoughtfully arranged into themed @programmes and discussions designed to explore different sides of tea culture, creativity, and shared experiences, both online and in person. Sessions may include demonstrations, conversations, tea tastings, workshops, tea flights, and the occasional wonderfully unexpected moment. Rather than feeling overly academic or rigid, the structure encourages curiosity, participation, and relaxed learning, allowing participants to experience tea from multiple perspectives while enjoying a balanced, engaging, and pleasantly social environment together.
Participation in Order of Tea programmes is designed to feel relaxed, welcoming, and flexible. Guests may join online through Discord, attend in-person sessions, or participate in tea flights where available. Some programmes are complimentary, while others may involve fees depending on structure and activities. Curiosity is far more important than expertise, and everyone is encouraged to participate comfortably at their own pace.
Our @programmes are designed as engaging journeys exploring tea culture, creativity, rituals, teaware, tea tasting, tea flights, storytelling, and shared experiences. Each programme combines conversations, demonstrations, discussions, and interactive activities delivered online and/or in person. Rather than feeling overly formal or academic, the programmes encourage curiosity, participation, and relaxed learning, allowing guests to explore tea from multiple perspectives while enjoying meaningful conversations and surprisingly delightful moments along the way.
Order of Tea experiences are delivered both online and/or in person, depending on the availability. Online sessions are typically hosted through Discord, while in-person gatherings may take place in tea salons, tea plantation, private venues, outdoor settings, or selected locations around the world. Some experiences are beautifully intimate, others more social and lively. Quite simply, we bring tea and thoughtful conversations and good company are welcome.
Experience and Background Requirements
No prior knowledge of tea culture is required to participate in most programmes. We welcome individuals who are curious about tea, culture, design, or shared learning experiences. Participants may include students, professionals, enthusiasts, and individuals simply interested in exploring the world of tea through new perspectives.
Organisations, educators, cultural groups, and individuals interested in collaboration are warmly invited to connect through our contact page.

Certain programmes or components of Order of Tea may be accredited or recognised by relevant government-authorised bodies or institutions within the tea industry or educational sector. These accreditations may vary depending on the location, programme format, and participating partners. Where applicable, participants may receive certificates or acknowledgements reflecting their participation and completion of specific training components.
Order of Tea collaborates with a range of organisations, institutions, and cultural partners to deliver its programmes. These affiliations may include educational institutions, tea producers, cultural organisations, research groups, and creative communities. Such partnerships help ensure that programmes remain diverse, informed, and connected to both traditional knowledge and contemporary practice.
Order of Tea works alongside experienced tea farmers, tea masters, sommeliers, makers, traders, designers, educators, and cultural practitioners who genuinely care about the quality of each experience. While our atmosphere remains relaxed and welcoming, professionalism sits quietly behind everything we do, from programme planning and tea sourcing to hosting, discussions, and guest experiences. We believe tea should feel approachable without losing the depth, respect, and care it deserves.
Order of Tea experiences are carefully coordinated by organisers who oversee programme planning, guest experiences, tea flights, communications, and event arrangements both online and in person. Behind the relaxed atmosphere sits thoughtful organisation, ensuring sessions remain welcoming, engaging, and enjoyable for everyone involved. Quite simply, we handle the details so guests may focus on tea, conversations, and shared experiences without unnecessary complications along the way.
As the initiative continues to grow, Order of Tea aims to expand its programmes, partnerships, and cultural exchanges in different regions. New formats, collaborations, and learning opportunities may be introduced over time, reflecting the evolving nature of tea culture and the shared curiosity of the communities involved.
The wellbeing of participants, organisers, and guests is an important consideration for all activities. Reasonable health and safety measures are implemented where appropriate to support a comfortable and responsible environment during programmes and gatherings. Participants are also encouraged to follow any guidance provided by organisers or venue hosts to ensure a safe and respectful experience for everyone involved.
Volunteers may occasionally assist with the organisation and facilitation of certain events or programmes. Their support can include welcoming participants, assisting with logistics, and helping ensure that activities run smoothly. Volunteers play a valuable role in supporting the collaborative spirit that underpins many Order of Tea gatherings.
Order of Tea programmes may be supported by individuals, businesses, community organisations, and cultural partners who share an interest in the promotion of tea culture and creative exchange. Their support may come in different forms, including resources, venues, expertise, or collaborative participation, helping to make the programmes accessible and sustainable.
Media and Documentation
Some programmes may include photography, audio recording, or other forms of documentation for educational, archival, or promotional purposes. Such materials may be used to share the programme’s activities, highlight cultural experiences, and support the ongoing development of the initiative.
Community Engagement
We encourage respectful interaction with local communities, cultural practitioners, and environments wherever programmes are held. Participants are invited to engage thoughtfully with the cultural and social contexts they encounter, helping to create meaningful exchanges that benefit both visitors and host communities.
