Back from the Tea Convention
While prior to COVID my wife and I enjoyed the Tea Convention, this time it was a bust. They combined our Tea Convention with a Bar and Club Convention. It was like combining oil and water. The speakers were top notch, but the networking and exhibits lacked in many ways. Suddenly it dawned on me, maybe there is a shortage of tea coming to America. There are CONEXs backed up in the system and prized boba tea products can take up to six months. Nevertheless, I will continue to strive to open and expand our tea business. Below is an article from ITI on how to brew various types of teas:
