The Kettle Sessions

Live guided tea tastings and stories from around the world.

Winter 2027 (January–March)

The Kettle Sessions: Winter 2027

Join Wise Kettle for a new series of live, interactive online tea tastings led by Certified Tea Sommelier and Wise Kettle owner Meagan Francis.  
 
Each month, we’ll explore a different tea, learning about its origins, traditions, processing methods and the people and places behind it. Along the way, we’ll talk about brewing techniques, tasting notes and what makes each tea distinctive.
 
Whether you’re just beginning your tea journey or already have a cupboard full of favorites, The Kettle Sessions offers an approachable way to deepen your knowledge, discover new flavors and connect with other curious tea drinkers.
 
Each session is approximately 60 minutes and offered at two different times on the same weekend, so participants can choose the option that works best for them.
 
No tea subscription or shipment is required. Participants purchase their own tea using our recommended suppliers, or source a comparable tea locally. We’ll provide sourcing guidance and purchasing links in advance.
 
Every registration also includes our Winter Tea Companion, a seasonal publication featuring tea stories, brewing tips, tasting notes and more.
