Pu'erh Discovery Night

Four teas. One secret ingredient: time.

Fermented, aged & full of secrets — from a barely-there white to the darkest, most settled pu'er in the cellar.

Pu'er is tea that's built to change after it leaves the garden: some matures patiently over years, some is fast-tracked in weeks to taste decades old. Over 90 minutes, we'll gongfu brew our way through four aged teas side by side, tasting lightest to darkest, and feel the difference between raw (sheng) and ripe (shou) pu'er for yourself.

We're opening with a curveball — the lightest tea on the table, and technically not pu'er at all. You'll have to come taste it to find out why.

Guided tasting, gongfu brewing demonstrated, no experience needed — just curiosity.

90 minutes • Tea Atelier, 131 Jackson Street, Petone
