Learn how to craft tea
Training in the Physico-Chemistry of Tea Processing
During a one-day workshop at the Filleule des Fées laboratory, come and deepen your knowledge of physico-chemistry applied to tea processing. Practical experiments will be alternated with theoretical presentations in the classroom.
This workshop is aimed at all those interested in tea, even without prior knowledge of physico-chemistry.
Training date for 2025
26 July 2024
We also offer practical training courses to learn how to manufacture green, black and white teas.

Manual harvesting
Discover how the fresh leaves are picked by hand, with meticulous care to preserve the quality and freshness of the tea.

Oxydation
Partial oxidation is meticulously controlled to create oolong tea, seeking a balance between the floral aromas and roasted notes characteristic of this colour of tea.

Rolling
The tea-rolling stage must be carried out with precision to allow the leaves to release their unique aromas and flavours.

Drying
The final drying of the tea leaves is carried out in a controlled way in a dehydrating oven, preserving their freshness and quality.
