We come to you

Bring the table to your people.

Private and on-location tastings for groups that want something more memorable than another tray of snacks or another round of drinks. Your space, your people — we bring the pots, the leaves, and the stories.

  • Team offsites, client events, birthdays, showers, holidays, sober gatherings, and slow evenings with people you like.
  • One- or two-hour formats, shaped around your group and space.
  • We plan the details together first, so the tasting feels natural in the room.
