French term or phrase: activité informative, démonstrative et gustative
I can't seem to come up with anything that sounds good and gets the point across. "An activity that is informative, demonstrative and gustative" sounds terrible in English. I came up with "an activity for the eyes, ears and taste buds" but I'm not sure if makes sense and has the same meaning. Basically, the activity provides information, shows you things about tea and has you taste the tea. How do I put that in a nice little sentence?

Initiation au thé

Pour les curieux qui veulent en apprendre sur le thé et ses vertus ou pour les épicuriens qui sont à la recherche de nouvelles sensations et saveurs. Activité informative, démonstrative et gustative.

I think 'activite' is best left off, turning those adjectives into action-oriented nouns.

a captivating experience in tea tasting?


Explanation:
An interesting, captivating, taste experience. I don't know how one gains satisfaction with your ears from drinking tea, though! LOL
