Introducing A New Generation To Tea Education...
From Tea Tastings to Professional Tea Training, our tea education classes are perfect for beginners, amateurs, and career professionals. We offer special group rates for parties and corporate.
In-Person Tastings- In-Person Tastings are done in our tasting room at 712 Boston Post Road in Madison, CT. Tea Tastings cover a wide range of interesting tea topics and are led by Certified Tea Master, Advocate & Tea Educator Philip Parda, who brings 50 years of tea drinking, tea education, and experience into each enjoyable tasting.

Certified Tea Snob- Attending 20 of our tastings awards you our official Drink Great Tea certificate, allowing you to consider yourself a Certified Tea Snob. Once you have achieved your 20 tastings, you must provide a list of the tastings attended to receive your tea education certificate. Click here.
Tea Talks- Once a month, join us for an informal Q&A about anything Tea! Sometimes we have specific topics to talk about, and other times we drink tea and talk about whatever comes up. All interested in tea are welcome. Tea Talks are usually held the second Thursday of the month from 6:30-7:30 PM EST. Join as a guest, and please consider joining the Drink Great Tea Community and receive meeting notifications and links prior to the monthly Tea Talks. Click here.
Professional Tea Certification- We conduct Professional Tea Training and certification with the International Tea Masters Association. Tea education classes are currently done both in-person & virtually and are held quarterly at mutually agreeable times. Those interested in Professional Tea Certification can achieve qualification as a Tea Sommelier or a Tea Master. For details, please contact Philip at pparda@drinkgreattea.com and see the schedule at https://teamasters.org/
