I recently attended the High Tea experience at Classy Hippie Tea for the first time, and it was truly a standout culinary and educational journey.
​This is not a traditional High Tea; it’s a meticulously curated event centered on tea and flavor pairings. The experience consisted of a five-course light fare, with each dish flawlessly accompanied by a complementary tea selection.
​The interactive element was a highlight. We were encouraged to actively participate in the tasting, analyzing whether the food flavors contrasted or complemented the accompanying tea. This focus transformed the meal into a thoughtful exploration of taste. The food itself was flavorful and satisfying, yet portioned perfectly to be "light fare," ensuring the emphasis stayed exactly where it should: on the tea.
​The experience was elevated by the owner, Leo. He guided us through the entire pairing process, explaining the nuances of each course and tea with a remarkably calm and knowledgeable presence. His passion for tea is evident and infectious.
​If you are looking for a unique, sophisticated, and quality guided tea experience, Classy Hippie Tea is an absolute must-visit, or if you are simply looking for a new favorite local tea/coffee shop with a relaxing and restorative vibe, then this is the place for you.
