TEA BARISTA

We would like to welcome you to our world, where great quality  tea plays the most important role on the menu. However, in order for your cup to be filled with this wonderful hot beverage, a number of steps need to be taken in the right way and with the right knowledge. Very similar to a cup of well brewed coffee. When we want to drink a properly prepared espresso or try a unique microlot brewed in an alternative way we go to a qualified barista. We're excited to hear about the farm, the people who work to process the coffee, and then about the brewing process itself to discover an incredible array of flavours and aromas. So why do we forget that tea involves exactly the same steps? The Tea Barista is a person who is equally passionate about tea brewing. This is a person who with the same enthusiasm will tell you about the farm where the tea comes from, the processing it goes through, and will choose from among many others the tea which has an incredibly high quality and unique flavour. And then will focus on brewing it properly. He or she will weigh the right amount of tea, prepare filtered water to a specific temperature and focus on brewing time. It is the Tea Barista who is responsible for making that cup of tea you will remember. Let's expand our horizons both as tea enthusiasts and as professionals. Tea Barista is a very forward-thinking concept. Just like the world of coffee, the world of tea is incredibly exciting and stimulating! And the right knowledge and skills give us even more opportunities and satisfaction to be part of the wonderful and flavourful world of tea.

Welcome to the world of the Tea Barista.
