I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Iced tea is not drunk very much in England and so it was productive and very interesting to learn the different methods. There are a lot of assignments to complete which I did enjoy doing. However, I would have gained more if I had had more time to do them (preparing for reopening after lockdown has robbed me of spare time!) I found the videos a great learning tool, especially for explaining the various techniques and methods. Thank you for a great course.
