Team Building Activity: The Ultimate Tea Board Challenge
Gather your team for a collaborative team building activity with Host Leo, a professional tea sommelier and herbalist.
In this interactive experience, your group will work together to create one impressive high tea charcuterie board. Host Leo begins by introducing five signature teas and the flavor profiles that pair with each part of the feast. Then, teams split into stations to assemble different elements of the board, including colorful fruit displays, savory bites, glazed chicken and matcha-inspired desserts. Once each section is complete, the team brings everything together for the grand reveal and a group photo. To finish, everyone gathers around the completed spread as Host Leo leads a guided tasting of all five teas alongside the food you created. Book today for a memorable team building experience centered on collaboration, creativity and plenty of delicious pairings.
