Tea Drunk Academy
The Study is the learning gateway of Tea Drunk Academy: a guided path through tea knowledge, from absolute-beginner concepts to structured Fundamentals and, over time, deeper intermediate and advanced study.
Start Here
If you are completely new to tea, begin with Tea 101 material such as what true tea is, the six tea categories, tea history, brewing, and the Three Pillars of place, plant, and craft.
Your Roadmap
Level 1 — Fundamentals
Build a structured foundation in terroir, cultivar, processing, and sensory evaluation, then deepen that knowledge through tea-type guides, published articles, reviewed tasting-note examples, and quizzes.
Level 2 — Intermediate
Move from recognition to comparison: more terroirs and cultivars, finer processing distinctions, and more disciplined sensory description. Detailed lesson assignments will expand as Academy curriculum work validates existing assets.
Level 3 — Advanced
Integrate terroir, cultivar, processing, and sensory evidence into holistic tea evaluation. Advanced content will appear as Tea Drunk verifies and publishes it.
Learn by Doing
Tea Drunk Academy also connects knowledge to practice through smaller classes, guided tastings, tea-evaluation workshops, Tea Club tastings, field education, and future Academy programs. These experiences remain bookable in their own canonical homes while The Study shows where they fit in the learning journey.
Study at your own pace through Tea Fundamentals I, Tea Fundamentals II, and Tea Fundamentals III, or practice technique through Brewing Class. These are on-demand paid courses on Udemy.
