At Chiya & Chai I bring people together over tea.
Whether you’re in Edinburgh or East Lothian, my tastings are warm, thoughtful and totally different from your usual cuppa.
I’m Sandra Benn, Founder of Chiya & Chai.
I don’t sell tea anymore. I create experiences with it – guided tastings for private groups, social occasions and the travel trade.
Whether it’s a quiet afternoon with friends, a tea event with depth or something special for visiting guests, I bring people together through tea – one cup at a time.
Intimate tea experiences hosted in homes or small venues. Ideal for birthdays, celebrations or simply reconnecting.
Relaxed, informal gathering where guests can explore a range of teas together. A good option if you’re curious but casual.
I partner with DMCs and tour operators to offer something different – an immersive tasting that weaves in Scotland’s lesser known tea heritage.
