This course made me really think about all that goes into the creation of a tea business. I was glad for the opportunity to research and learn more about how things are done in my country in order to compare with the class materials. Very interesting.

Very valuable information for any entrepreneur desiring to establish a tea business. There are so many small tea companies who are not following regulations which can ultimately harm the consumer.

Hi Donna, this course was extremely useful in letting me know what all must go into setting up a tea business - it's not all artistry and cupping and requires very organized processes and knowledge of laws, compliance, regulations, etc. So glad I had the chance to learn more about this side of it! The comment I have for the class is that I think this class would benefit from lectures from the instructors in videos. The material was complex and difficult for me as a beginner to follow - the differences in HACCP tables and control point tables, in disposition and disposal plans, etc, might have been more clear if a teacher talked them out and explained them in video with examples. I really liked the use of video in the other courses I've taken. Thanks so much for another great class!
