The nunshen academy

Tea workshops & training

Understanding the plant, tasting, preparing: the nunshen academy brings together the workshops and training courses of La QuintEssence, the training body founded by Carine Baudry. They take place at the nunshen atelier, 87 rue Lemercier, Paris 17th, and are open to enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Our workshops

Two hours to tame tea.

Small-group workshops at the nunshen atelier, to awaken your senses, discover the great tea families and put words on what you taste.

Professional training

Making tea a profession.

Coffee-shop founders, tea counters and tea rooms, restaurateurs, fine grocers: La QuintEssence offers professional training days, from preparation and service to building your tea offer. A preliminary interview tailors the programme to your project.
