Back on Solid Ground

Phew! Our feet are back on solid ground after a huge trip to America for World Tea Expo and to conduct our Certified Tea Blending course.
We'll talk about the course in a separate blog (it was so brilliant it deserves its own ramble!) but first, we would like to debrief about the biggest tea expo in the world.
World Tea Expo, recently held in loud and outrageous Las Vegas, is the tea event that professionals from around the globe attend.
It was a flurry of tea excitement and a fascinating experience to be part of. Connecting with so many passionate tea people has to be our number one highlight, but these were a few other things that really stood out for us:
- Tea and beer pairing. Wow. What a brilliant concept and one we utterly intend to replicate in this corner of the world. It will no doubt go down well in the land Down Under. The art of wine and beer tasting is quite similar to the art of tea tasting, and those with an appreciative palate can apply their cupping skills to both beverages. Bliss!
- The Hi-Spirits Extractor. This wonderful little machine extracts the goodness from plants (coffee leaf, tea, power leaves, etc) making potent elixirs that are fit for kings! Seeing this groovy little wonder-machine in action and meeting the super Hi-Spirits crew from New Zealand was great. Oh, and just so you know, if you want to get your hands on one of these bad boys, then contact us by emailing info@australianteamasters.com.au. We'll hook you up.
