Tea preparation classes

[mascarpone]

I will be traveling from New York City to London from 14 February through 27 February, and am interested in instruction on how to make a proper cuppa.

 

I am particularly interested in traditional British tea preparation, as well as chai masala.

 

I am also interested in where I might find a excellent chai masala in London, as where to go for a traditional afternoon tea. Any advise on reservations, etc. would be appreciated.

 

Thank you.

My mom and I also quite enjoyed tea at the Savoy, although it has been a few years.

 

I'd probably try the Fortnum & Mason one myself if I still lived in England - I used to buy loose leaf tea there all the time, I love the selection and blends.

This is most helpful, Thank you.

 

I will post in the UK cooking forum for more information regarding preparation classes for traditional British tea and Masala Chai.

 

Cheers!

There is a tea academy in London, but I cannot see any 1 day courses just the longer ones http://www.ukteaacademy.co.uk/
