A rare chance to visit the world’s finest teawar

A rare chance to visit the world’s finest teaware collection🫖Limited places left
The UKTA is thrilled to offer an exclusive visit to the Chitra Collection (@tea.museum) in London, an extraordinary private museum of historic teawares. In 2011, Nirmal Sethia, the Chairman of the luxury tea company Newby Teas (@newbyteas), set himself the task of acquiring the world’s greatest collection of teawares to record and preserve tea cultures of the past. Today, the collection, named in honour of his late wife, Chitra, totals almost 2,000 objects and is considered the world’s finest and most comprehensive of its kind.
Led by Assistant Curator Evelyn Earl, this tour will take you through ancient pieces from China, Europe, Asia and the Americas, spanning over a thousand years of history, reflecting the importance of tea and the diversity of tea drinking customs across the world.
📅 Date: Wednesday 1st May
⏰ Time: 4:00 - 5:30 PM (BST)
Only 10 spaces are available, so early booking is strongly recommended.
If you can’t make it this time, don’t worry - there will be a virtual tour on Thursday 25th June, and another in-person visit is planned for October.

Hope Beyond The Earthquake For Mogok - Rebuilding

Hope Beyond The Earthquake For Mogok - Rebuilding Mandalay
We want to share this fundraiser campaign launched by Cha Dodo (@cha_dodo_uk) in collaboration with Phyu Thwé and her company, Mogok Tea (@mogoktea), to provide direct aid to the people of Mandalay affected by the recent earthquake. Phyu Thwé, a winner of the Tea for Life Special Award at The Leafies (@the_leafies_tea_awards) 2022, has worked tirelessly to support her family and community through Mogok Tea.
On March 28th 2025, a devastating earthquake struck Myanmar, with Mandalay among the hardest-hit regions. Homes, livelihoods, and communities have suffered, leaving families in urgent need of support. Many of the villagers from Mogok left for Mandalay after the bombings of last year and now they are facing an uncertain future as aftershocks further devastate the country.
Please visit the GoFundMe page: https://gofund.me/516e6ba0
Every contribution will go towards rebuilding homes, securing food and essentials, and supporting the recovery of Mogok and Mandalay.

📣NOW OPEN FOR BOOKING📣World Tea Rituals Part

📣NOW OPEN FOR BOOKING📣World Tea Rituals Part 2
Following the hugely successful event in January, we’re back with five more UKTA students and friends sharing their tea rituals - this time from China, Estonia, Kuwait, Nepal, and Russia.
Meet one of our guest speakers Sara, who will talk about Kuwaiti tea rituals.
“My journey with tea began unexpectedly in 2010, during my early university days as a Computer Engineering student. Like many of my peers, I followed the coffee trend, hoping it would sharpen my focus. But coffee and I were never meant to be—it left me restless, uncomfortable, and fatigued. In 2011, I began exploring tea as my personal escape from the intensity of academic life. Back then, Kuwait’s tea options were limited, mostly to standard teabags, so whenever I travelled, I made it my mission to try new blends, immersing myself in the stories behind each cup. In 2019, a close friend encouraged me to turn my passion into a business, giving birth to INFUSE (@infusetea.co)—a name I had envisioned for years. My mission extended beyond learning. I wanted to educate Kuwait about the art of tea, creating a culture of appreciation for high-quality brews. The Arabian way of tea preparation and consumption is distinct and evolving. Learning about our traditional methods while understanding international practices has been eye-opening. As much as I teach, I am constantly learning and discovering new insights into our regional tea culture.”

Meet one of our guest speakers Min, who will talk about Chinese tea rituals.
“Hello everyone, I’m Min Hua and I live in Shanghai. I am a freelance tea professional and I love organising basic tea training and sharing my knowledge of tea with other people who also love tea. Tea has been a very important part of my life since I was a child and now I am the Nationally Certified Senior Tea Art Specialist, Nationally Certified Tea Evaluator, and UKTA certified Tea Sommelier, I realised that I wanted to train others and share my knowledge with them. During our Academy event on tea rituals on 29th March, I’ll be introducing another tea professional who will give a live demonstration of the very traditional Chao Zhou Congfou Tea Ritual, which lasts for 5 – 7 minutes, and I’ll explain what is happening during the performance of this Zen ritual.”
