Take a Journey Through the World of Tea and Tea Rooms.

Join me in the fantastic travels through the world of tea. I have taken this journey from enjoying a cup of tea with friends to a partnership in owning and operating a tea room.

Let me share with you this exciting experience as we travel through history, from the legends and myths of ancient China to traveling the Silk Road and the Tea and Horse Caravan Road introducing this beverage to Russia, Europe, India, Africa and the Americas. Sail on the beautiful Clipper Ships as they carry their precious cargo around the world.

Learn about the culture and get to know the plant, camellia senensis, from the hand-picked bud to the processing that brings us this wonderful beverage, a beverage second in popularity only to water.

Tea rooms are popping up all over the world in this rediscovered wave of popularity. It's the fastest growing business in the beverage industry. Today people are interested in achieving a more healthy lifestyle and the health benefits are many.

Put on the kettle and have a cup as we begin our journey.
