One of the newest and most coveted careers in the tea industry today is that of Tea Sommelier.

Overview

One of the newest and most coveted careers in the tea industry today is that of Tea Sommelier. Having borrowed the word ‘sommelier’ from the wine industry gives us a general idea of how that role might translate in the world of tea. But as a tea career, the role is so new it is still evolving and defining itself. This class takes part in the ‘What is a Tea Sommelier?’ discussion as we listen to key industry leaders talk about how they see the role evolve and find its place in our modern, global tea culture. The class goes on to introduce the skills and information needed by anyone who aspires to help both consumers and managers in making informed decisions about tea service or serve as a guide to the world of tea in the specialty tea, food, and hospitality industries, academic institutions, or wherever they find themselves presenting and promoting tea and its culture.

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.
