I am your tea sommelier , ready to take you on a sensory journey through the lush lands of the finest and most delicate teas.

My name is Laurent, from Belgium (Wanze), a tea addict since July 2011, based in Barcelona (ES)

Tea is much more than just a beverage. It is a complete experience, a symphony of flavors, aromas, and age-old traditions.

Just like a wine sommelier, my role is to introduce you to the intricacies of this precious leaf, helping you explore its different varieties, unique terroirs, and preparation techniques that reveal its full potential.

Imagine savoring a delicate Japanese green tea

In gastronomy, tea is used in various ways. It can be infused to create sauces or marinades, added to recipes to enhance flavors, or used in tea-based infusions to perfume creams, ice creams, and pastries.

Whether in a Michelin star restaurant (or/and Gault&Millau selection) or in a creative pastry shop, tea adds a new dimension to culinary art.
Its subtle marriage with ingredients and cooking techniques opens up a range of possibilities for chefs and adventurous food enthusiasts.
