Sri Lanka's historic tea brand George Steuart Tea is hosting a two-day limited event at Three Tiers — a tea salon widely regarded as among the finest in Japan's British pastry scene — on Saturday, March 14 and Sunday, March 15, 2026. The 90-minute, reservation-only sessions will be guided by tea instructor Yoshiko Yoshimura, offering a hands-on tea tasting experience paired with Three Tiers' popular carrot cake.
Highlights of the Event
① Tea Instructor Yoshiko Yoshimura
The sessions are led by Yoshiko Yoshimura, a certified tea instructor who brings deep knowledge of tea to the experience. Rather than simply drinking tea, guests will have the opportunity to learn, compare, and discover the nuances of different varieties throughout the 90-minute session — a great fit for both tea enthusiasts and curious newcomers alike.
② Tasting 5 or More George Steuart Teas
Five or more carefully selected varieties from George Steuart Tea's lineup of 25 teas will be offered in a side-by-side tasting format. The teas come paired with the brand's original soy pound cake (orange), where the tea's aromas and the citrusy freshness of the cake complement each other in a well-rounded combination.
③ Special Pairing with Three Tiers' Carrot Cake
Three Tiers' carrot cake — the most popular item on the menu — is a recreation of a recipe from a five-star hotel in London. Guests can enjoy a slice alongside any tea of their choice from George Steuart Tea's full lineup of 25 varieties. The cake's delicate texture sets it apart from other carrot cakes.
④ George Steuart Tea Souvenir Included (worth approx. ¥1,500)
Each guest will receive a take-home souvenir worth approximately ¥1,500, so the tea experience can continue at home.
