Teapot, through Sommelier Margarida Franco, has been on the Portuguese market since 2013, promoting events and dynamics within cultural and business events, within the scope of learning and discovery programs about the world of tea. These dynamics are composed of two moments: a theoretical component with presentation of content on the defined theme, and a practical component where the tasting (with harmonization) of 4 varieties of tea takes place, and during which the sensory profile of the liqueurs and their organoleptic characteristics are “analyzed”.
You’ll take home more than just a deeper appreciation of Japanese tea. You’ll leave with practical knowledge of traditional tea preparation, an understanding of chado and its philosophy, refined sensory skills for tasting Japanese green teas, and the mindfulness principles behind the ceremony.
