This post is about my experiences at the first ever Tea Cupping class hosted at Bistro Vue
This session was focused on Green Tea and they're held by Charles Serveau, the Tea Sommelier who replaced Sarah at Vue de Monde. He was such a delightful teacher and his passion and enthusiasm for tea was inspiring.
A truly educational and eye opening experience that was held in the beyond gorgeous function room of Bistro Vue, my friend couldn't help but admire the architecture.
We tried so many different kinds of Green Tea, I felt like I was in heaven. So much precision and care needs to be taken but it's worth it to brew a perfect cup of tea.
The day couldn't have possibly gotten any better....but it did. Our class was followed by a wonderful 3 course lunch paired with matching teas whipped up by the head chef of Bistro Vue, Chris Bonello. Chris was really friendly, such an easy going guy.

Our first course was Cured Kingfish with salt bush, wood sorrel, lemon oil, seaweed salt.
Second course was Confit Duck Leg with Jerusalem artichoke puree, roasted carrots and beer pickled onions. It was incredible how well the teas matched with this dish.
Finally for dessert a Rum and Vanilla parfait with 8 spice, honey and a White chocolate mousse. It was an extremely valuable experience...well worth the early morning wake up and a bargain at $70, in my opinion. I wish I could have afforded to attend all the sessions.
