How do I serve Tea professionally?
Tea Professionals shall be knowledgeable of basic tea history and serve a variety of tea: Teas should be listed on a menu
or presented in a professional manner, promoting a majority of loose-leaf tea to tea bags and other beverages.
Service should be efficient and attentive. Staff should be friendly, well-presented and reasonably knowledgeable
about the variety of teas offered. Tea service will be first class. Pristine cleanliness, fine linens, china and decorations should
create a high-end experience for paying customers.
