Why Have a Traveler's Teahouse Tasting?

Firstly, there are not many establishments that offer guided tea tastings by a certified Tea Specialist, let alone purveyors of authentic Nepali tea. This gourmet tea adds a unique touch to your event by introducing your guests to a lesser-known, but treasured, region of the world. Aside from bringing the exquisite flavors of the different tea terroirs to the palates of your esteemed guests, Traveler's Teahouse can bring the magic by incorporating divination of new and old, making the entire experience impactful. Tea tastings can include Tarot readings and tea leaf readings to maximize memorability for your gathering.
