Rare and aged teas tasting - with Sergey Shevelev
A rare and exclusive tea tasting session with Sergey Shevelev — founder of the international tea company Moychay and one of the most experienced tea explorers of his generation. This is an open, engaging experience built around one thing: the joy of discovering rare teas together.
During this special session, you’ll taste a curated selection of origin-sourced teas that Sergey personally discovered during his travels through China, Taiwan, Thailand, and beyond. Sergey will share stories, knowledge, and behind-the-scenes insights from decades of direct work with tea farmers, mountain gardens, ancient trees, factories, and ceramic masters across Asia.
Rather than a quiet ceremony, this is a lively tasting — perfect for curious newcomers and experienced tea lovers alike. Teas will be brewed and served in small infusions throughout the session, in the spirit of Gong Fu Cha, with a relaxed and open atmosphere that invites conversation, questions, and connection.
Sergey is the author of The Geography of Chinese Tea. He has lived in China for over 10 years and spends up to half of every year traveling through remote tea mountains, personally sourcing rare teas and studying traditional production methods. With more than 20 years of experience, he offers a truly authentic and exclusive perspective on tea as a living culture.
