World Teas and Turkish Tea Brewing & Tasting Workshop in Istanbul

Learn all about teas, especially the uniqueness of Turkish tea

I learned a lot about different types of tea, how to make them and experienxe drinking them with the final tea being Turkish tea. Great instructor who answered my questions and asked me some too.

Response from the operator: Thank you! We’re very happy you had such a great experience and created a memorable souvenir from your time in Istanbul. ✨

Complete Waste of Time and Money!

From start to finish this “tea experience” was a complete disaster! I requested a full refund from the company, but haven’t received a response. Here are the “highlights”: The person who “taught” the class did not know the proper method to make any of the teas. The “teas” he made were undrinkable! They tasted like pool water! He was wearing hygiene gloves, but kept putting his hands through his hair and then picking up tea leaves, which defeated the purpose of the gloves. He did not have the cups laid out in advance and did not have boiling water ready for class. We spent most of our time waiting for him to set up supplies. The cups he took out came right out of the box. They had not been washed!! He did not explain anything about the tea that a five-year-old wouldn’t already know. The “room” we were in was the supply portion of a basement and other workers would come down to collect supplies for other workshops while our supposed “class” was in session. The “instructor” attempted to make small talk by asking us what our favorite sports, foods and sites were. It was torturous! We were there to learn about brewing tea, but instead were treated like toddlers! There is simply no excuse for the “service” we received, especially since we were on vacation and our precious time was completely wasted. Avoid this workshop like the plague.

Response from the operator: Dear Filiz, First and foremost, please accept our deepest apologies for this experience. Reading your feedback was truly heartbreaking, as what you described is the complete opposite of the Highlights in Türkiye Workshops standards we strive for every day. We investigated the situation immediately. It appears our tea master was having an uncharacteristically bad day, but we agree that this is absolutely no excuse for the lack of hygiene, organization, and quality you encountered. We have taken your comments very seriously and have already conducted a meeting with our entire team to ensure these mistakes are never repeated. To make things right, we have processed your full refund immediately. While we cannot give you your time back, we hope this gesture shows how much we value your satisfaction. We would love the chance to host you again in the future—this time for a flawless and authentic experience on us. Best regards,

Wonderful Experience

Togrul was a wonderful instructor. He did an awesome job explaining the different types of tea and the processes to make them. I also appreciated him taking the time to answer all of my questions about tea and Turkey in general. 10/10 workshops!
