About us

What We Want to Share

With humility and passion, Wenwei and Gaultier want to introduce you to the mindset and philosophy behind our tasting.We’ll share how we enjoy tea and treats, how it brings people together around the tea table, and how it opens up a world of sensations and possibilities.

To quote one of our participants: ‘The experience and service are truly worth it, and the price is amazing.’

If you’re a curious taster and you don’t know much about Chinese tea or traditional Chinese snacks, this will be a true revelation for you.

What people say about it:

“A real revelation”
“enormous passion for her roots”
“ the most convivial and informative of tea drinking experiences “
"knowledgeable and passionate"

To give you an idea of what we might taste ( below is for one of our tea gatherings ) :

At least 5 teas brewing and tasting in Gong Fu Style:

A purple bud tea from Yunnan Province
An black tea from Tongmu, Wuyi, Fujian province
A wild-grown “Buddha hand” rock oolong from Fujian
An aged white tea from Fuding, Fujian 2010
An aged ripe Puer tea from Yunnan 2012
You’ll try brewing tea with a Gaiwan in Gongfu style

If we have even more time, there are plenty of other teas that we can discover together

You’ll also have a chance to taste 8 different snacks

3 kinds of red dates to experience the transformation of the sun’s energy (steamed and dried)
Steamed and dried sweet potato
2 Hakka savory snacks ( I don’t quite know how to name them)
Ginger and peanut candy
Blood glutinous rice based, nutty and chewy candy.

"The only thing that does not change is change itself", this also applies to Chinese tea culture. We are excited to hold a space where we create our unique experience together.

The teas may be different for your private tasting , but the love and passion we infuse will be just as strong, and for some of you, it will be a real revelation.

Reserve your spot for this convivial and informative gathering in an intimate circle, where everyone shares, and every sense is engaged.

Warmly,

Wenwei & Gaultier

What people say about it:
“A real revelation”
"Immersive, Informative, Intimate"
"Wholesome"
“Enormous passion for her roots”,
“ The most convivial and informative of tea drinking experiences “
"Beyond tea tasting"
"Gentle healing"

Our gatherings are rooted in the ever-evolving Chinese tea culture.

We explore how contemporary Chinese people enjoy tea in daily life, discover its beauty, and reflect on the philosophies and mindsets behind it.
I also call it an honest tea-sensing experience. Around tea, countless stories have been told or imagined. The story I’d like to share is the one already present — in the tea itself, and in our bodies.
In our stories, we search for “herbal remedies from the mountains and delightful moments at a writing desk”.
We serve top-quality teas that carry a comforting Qi: no jitters but calm, no bitterness but transformation.

*************Chinese Black Tea Tasting*************
“I thought black tea was just…meh.” If you think black tea is boring. Let me open up a few new doors for you.

And if you’re interested in tasting tea and food from a different perspective, I want to share how we taste
Chinese herbs - a way of tasting that works beautifully with tea, too.

************WHAT WE’LL EXPLORE*************
A step by step tasting method inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine’s Four Qi Five Flavors:
A way of tasting that can be applied to tea, herbs and beyond.

Chinese tea aesthetics & personalities:
Exotic vs. Chinese central plain
Yunnan vs. Wuying

Smoked black tea
Lapsang Souchong
What are we actually looking for in the liquor?

Organic
When “organic” means overcooked.

I bring good tea and brew it with care.

The rest can unfold naturally.

When people feel comfortable drinking tea, they often take away far more than I could ever give them.

I invite you to explore Chinese ways of life, with tea as our way in, around our table in Brussels
