IT’S UNIQUE! – Inside the Herbal Tea Blending Masterclass: Creating a Custom Wellness Tea with Tatjana Anders and Teapro

Friend of The Fan Carpet, actress and filmmaker Tatjana Anders, returns with something rather unique: Teapro, the company she founded with her husband in 2019. Not only is it unique, it’s also award-winning, having picked up the Prestige Award in 2022.

The Herbal Tea Blending Masterclass is exactly what it sounds like — but also far more than that. I’ve been to wine tastings, pasta-making events and similar experiences before, but this felt genuinely different: a chance to learn about teas from all corners of the globe, understand their benefits, and then create something entirely personal.

The session guides you through a wide range of herbs, their origins, flavour profiles and wellness properties, before giving you the freedom to experiment and design your own blend.

For me, I created a tea that was not only really tasty, but also felt good for me: echinacea, lemon balm and rose bud. Tatjana then suggested adding butterfly pea, which elevated it into something really special — both in flavour and character.

In her honour, I’ve decided to call my blend Your Reality — a small way of turning the title of her powerful film about gaslighting and reclaiming yourself into something warm, healing and positive.

“I learned lots of new information I didn’t know”

The experience isn’t just about making tea — it’s about learning, discovery and connection. That was clear from the other attendees.

Carolina, attending her first workshop of this kind, described it as “Lots of new information for me and lots of discoveries — how tea can actually help your body, your immune system, your digestion… I truly enjoyed today’s event.”

She even created her own blend inspired by flavour and feeling “The colour was greenish, like a forest — so I called my tea Fairy Tale.”

Another attendee, Anastasia, who has been into herbal teas for over 20 years, summed up the experience simply “This is what I’ve actually been looking for, for many years.”

“We’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg”

For Tatjana, Teapro comes from a deeply personal place “I’ve always been into tea… my mum used to blend herbal teas when I was growing up, using things from the garden or foraging herbs.”

That curiosity eventually became a mission “A lot of the teas you find in supermarkets are just a very limited selection… but it’s really just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many amazing teas to discover.”

Her goal with Teapro is simple but powerful “Our mission is to turn tea lovers into tea pros — so they understand what they’re drinking and why.”

A creative, intimate and genuinely unique experience

Set in a small, intimate venue in Windsor, the masterclass feels collaborative and relaxed. There’s a real sense of creativity in the room — people comparing blends, experimenting with flavours and learning from each other as much as from Tatjana.

As she puts it “When you create your own blends, you’re being really creative… you listen to your instinct, you listen to your gut, and you let it flow.”

That’s exactly what makes this stand out. It’s not passive — it’s hands-on, thoughtful, and personal.

Final thoughts

I’d absolutely recommend this masterclass. It’s cool, unique, creative and a genuinely lovely experience.

Whether you’re completely new to herbal tea or already deep into it, there’s something here — not just in what you learn, but in what you create.

And importantly, you don’t just leave with knowledge — you leave with something that’s yours.
