Workshop: A Taiwanese Tea Journey Through the 24 Solar Terms — With a Seasonal Taiwanese Tea to Take Home
Description
BRUSSELS TEA FESTIVAL 2026 · EXCLUSIVE
Date: 27th Septembre
Time:13:00
Place:Flagey · Place Sainte-Croix, 1050 Brussels
What if the way we drink tea could change with the seasons?
The 24 Solar Terms are an ancient East Asian calendar based on the movement of the sun, dividing the year into 24 subtle transitions in climate and nature. Beyond marking time, they have long shaped the rhythms of food, agriculture and everyday life.
In this special Autumn Equinox (秋分) session, FORMOSA brew invites you to explore this seasonal philosophy through Taiwanese tea.
As summer gives way to autumn and day and night return briefly to balance, we will taste a selection of Taiwanese teas chosen to reflect the character of the season. Through guided tasting and storytelling, you will discover how terroir, oxidation, roasting and brewing temperature shape each tea—and how seasonal thinking can inspire the way we experience tea today.
Tea Meets Gastronomy
The experience concludes with a curated seasonal gastronomic pairing, exploring how carefully brewed Taiwanese tea can reveal and amplify the hidden flavours of autumn ingredients.
Rather than treating tea simply as an accompaniment, we look at aroma, texture, temperature and flavour as part of one complete tasting experience.
A Premium Taiwanese Tea to Take Home — Value €25+
The experience continues beyond the tea table.
Every ticket includes a full pack of premium Taiwanese tea from FORMOSA brew, with a retail value of €25 or more, so you can continue exploring Taiwanese tea at home after the session.
