Private & Corporate Tea Tastings

We believe that the best way to enjoy good tea is with good company. That's why our core mission is to bring people together to experience beauty in a cup.

We offer a variety of tea experiences for private and corporate events:

In-person tea tastings at our tea room

We offer private tea tastings and classes for small groups of 2-15 at our Kendall Square tea room. Our 2-hour private tea tastings feature a rotating selection of vintage-specific, direct-sourced single-origin teas. Each session is interactive, education-focused, and includes traditional tea snacks.

Pricing starts at $120 per person if tasting with a staff member, and $180 per person if tasting with Yin, our founder and owner. Prices are inclusive of tax, exclusive of gratuity.

Optional add-ons include:

1. Trying a hands-on gongfucha brewing experience (+$25/person)
2. Upgrading from our standard tea selection to reserve-tier teas (+$25/person)

There is a minimum of 2 people required to book, and we can accommodate a group of up to 9 people (with discounted pricing available for groups of 4 or more). If your private or corporate group is larger than 9, please reach out for a quote. All tastings include tea snacks shared with the table, and a 15% discount on any purchases of looseleaf tea or teaware immediately after the tasting. Please email inquiries to hello@brokencupteahouse.com. Thank you!

In-person tea tastings at your office

We travel to offices, institutions, and sometimes private residences in the Greater Boston area to host tea tastings and classes. Common themes include Lunar New Year, AAPI Heritage Month, oolong teas, blind tea tasting team building events, Tea 101, and gongfucha ceremony. These in-person events are usually best for groups of 10+. Please email hello@brokencupteahouse.com for more information.

Virtual tea tastings and classes

This option is best for corporate teams where members are working remotely in different physical locations. Each participant will receive a set of teas for tasting, with an optional gongfu brewing teaware kit add-on. Without the gongfu brewing kit, participants may use any teaware of their choice for brewing, including just one mug, and we intentionally choose teas for this format that can be flexibly brewed. We ship anywhere within the US or abroad, and if it involves multiple time zones, we are happy to find a time that works for your whole team, even if it is outside of our regular hours. There is no maximum limit on the number of participants for virtual events.
