Personal Tea Journey Consultation

What This Session Offers You

This consultation is designed for people who want clarity about their tea preferences without spending months of trial and error. In a single focused session, we'll explore together what appeals to your palate, what fits your lifestyle, and what direction makes sense for building your personal tea collection.

You'll walk away with concrete understanding of which tea types suit you, specific recommendations you can act on immediately, and the confidence to make your own choices going forward. This isn't about creating dependency on expert advice; it's about giving you the foundation to trust your own developing judgment.

Clear Direction

No more wandering through tea shops overwhelmed by choices. You'll know exactly what to look for and why.

Personal Attention

One-on-one time focused entirely on your specific situation, questions, and preferences.

Practical Guidance

Written recommendations that include where to source teas and how to prepare them properly.

Efficient Learning

In one session, gain clarity that might otherwise take months of independent exploration.

Perhaps You've Been Wondering

Maybe you've tried a few different teas but can't quite figure out why some appeal to you while others don't. You're curious about developing a real appreciation for tea, but the learning curve feels steep and you're not sure which direction to take. Reading articles online gives you information, but what you really need is someone to help you make sense of it all in the context of your own preferences.

Or perhaps you've started accumulating teas but lack confidence in your choices. You want to know if what you're drawn to actually represents quality, or if you're simply responding to packaging and marketing. It would help to have an experienced perspective that validates what works for you and gently redirects where you might be heading down less rewarding paths.

There's also the practical consideration that your time is valuable. You could eventually figure this out on your own through extensive experimentation, but that process involves purchasing many teas you won't enjoy and spending considerable time researching. What if you could shortcut that learning curve and arrive at clarity much more quickly?

How This Consultation Actually Works

We'll spend focused time together exploring tea in a way that respects your current knowledge level while expanding your understanding. This isn't a lecture or a rigid tasting protocol. It's a conversation that happens to involve tea, where we discover together what resonates with you and why.

The session takes place in a comfortable setting where we can give full attention to the tasting process. We'll work through a carefully selected range of teas representing different types, processing methods, and origins. As we taste each one, we'll discuss what you're experiencing and what that tells us about your preferences.

The Session Structure

We begin with a conversation about your current relationship with tea. What have you tried? What did you think of it? How do you imagine tea fitting into your daily routine? This context helps me select which teas to feature during our tasting.

Then we'll taste through a range of options together. This isn't about memorizing information or passing any kind of test. It's about paying attention to your genuine reactions and using those observations to identify patterns. You might discover you prefer lighter oxidation levels, or that you respond well to teas with roasted notes. These insights become the foundation for your recommendations.

We'll also discuss practical matters like equipment needs, sourcing suggestions, and preparation techniques. You don't need elaborate tools to enjoy quality tea, but knowing what actually makes a difference versus what's just nice to have can save you both money and frustration.

The session concludes with a discussion of where you might go from here. Based on everything we've explored, I'll suggest specific teas worth trying and sources where you can find them. You'll leave with written notes covering everything we discussed, so you have a reliable reference going forward.

What Happens After Our Session

Immediate Benefits

You'll walk away with clarity about your preferences that you didn't have before. This manifests practically when you're shopping for tea, either online or in person. Instead of feeling overwhelmed or uncertain, you'll know what categories to explore and what questions to ask.

The written guide you receive includes specific tea recommendations with sourcing information, so you can immediately begin building a collection that makes sense for you. These aren't generic suggestions; they're tailored to what we discovered about your preferences during the session.

Long-Term Development

The consultation gives you a framework for continuing to explore on your own. As your palate develops and your preferences evolve, you'll have the vocabulary and understanding to recognize what's changing and why. This makes tea exploration feel less random and more purposeful.

Some people return for follow-up sessions after six months or a year to reassess their preferences and explore new directions. Others find that single session provides everything they need to continue their journey independently. Both paths are perfectly valid.

Ongoing Access

Questions naturally arise as you continue exploring tea. You're welcome to reach out via email at [email protected] when these come up. While the formal consultation is a one-time session, reasonable follow-up questions are part of the service.

The Real Value

Consider what you might otherwise spend on random tea purchases that don't work out, or equipment that seemed necessary but sits unused. This consultation prevents those missteps by giving you clear direction from the start. Most people save far more than the session fee simply by avoiding purchases that wouldn't have served them well.

Beyond the monetary aspect, there's the value of your time and mental energy. Rather than spending months feeling uncertain and overwhelmed, you gain clarity in a single afternoon. That confidence makes tea exploration enjoyable rather than stressful.

How This Consultation Delivers Results

The consultation's effectiveness comes from combining structured tasting with thoughtful conversation. Rather than simply telling you what you should like, we discover together what actually appeals to you. This approach respects that tea preferences are deeply personal and can't be prescribed from a generic template.

The teas selected for your session represent diversity across processing methods, oxidation levels, and flavor profiles. By experiencing this range in a short time with guidance, you develop a reference framework much more quickly than if you were tasting these teas months apart on your own.

What Success Looks Like

Successful consultations leave you feeling confident rather than overwhelmed. You'll understand which general categories of tea suit you and have specific examples you can seek out. You'll also know what doesn't work for you, which is equally valuable information.

In the weeks following the session, you should find yourself making tea purchasing decisions with greater certainty. When you do acquire new teas, you'll know how to approach brewing them and what to expect. This reduces the frustration that comes from not understanding why a tea isn't working out as hoped.

Our Approach to Your Satisfaction

If the Session Doesn't Meet Your Needs

While we work carefully to ensure each consultation provides genuine value, there's always the possibility that something doesn't connect as it should. If you feel the session didn't deliver what was promised, please let us know directly.

We'll discuss what fell short and determine an appropriate response. This might mean a follow-up session at no charge, a partial refund, or another solution that feels fair given the circumstances. Our interest is in your honest satisfaction, not defending ourselves against reasonable feedback.

Before You Commit

If you're uncertain whether this consultation is right for you, reach out with your questions first. We can discuss what you're hoping to gain and whether this format is likely to deliver that. It's better to have that conversation upfront than to proceed with misaligned expectations.
