World Tea Expo

World Tea Expo

The World Tea Expo is an event hosted in Las Vegas, Nevada that focuses on tea and tea related products. The expo held a variety of tea companies that allowed the attendants to sample their teas and speak with their representatives and executives about their company. I had the pleasure of attending the event and participating as a volunteer for two educational presentations at the expo. The events were as follows: how to put together a comparative tea and wine tasting and how to put together a comparative tea and beer tasting. Both events were taught by sommeliers from The Cultured Cup and The Four Seasons Hotel.
