Have you ever attended the "World Tea Expo?"
It may be hard to believe, but yes there is a convention for tea.
I have been fortunate to attend this event the past five years, and
I always look forward to attending.
Every year serious tea aficionados attend the one and
only industry event dedicated to specialty tea.
The World Tea Expo is the premier business-to-business event
dedicated to specialty tea; it's the three days each year when
industry members determine trends, optimize product lines,
increase knowledge and network with peers.
I am so excited to share a few of my favorite highlights
from this years expo!
This man knows sooooooooo much about tea.
I had the privilege of attending his tea tastings. I am holding
the new tea dictionary he authored along with two gentlemen from India.
I always look forward to spending time with noted tea author Jane Pettiqrew.
I attended a focused tasting of unusual black teas with her.
We tasted teas that are being grown in Hawaii, Bolivia,
Guatemala, Georgian, and my personal favorite from the UK.
I believe I own every book she has authored, which are quite a few!
Scott is the author of "The Meaning of Tea", a tea inspired journey.
I have heard so many wonderful reviews of his book
and DVD I had to purchase them.
I hope to share these in my shop with my tea friends.

Lots of great health benefits, because you drink the leaf!
Isn't she beautiful?
