-Sheena Brady, Certified TAC Tea Sommelier Professional, CEO Tease Tea

My TAC Certification was a major turning point for me at a time when I needed to find a new career path for myself. In addition to giving me a foundation in the history, production, classification, identification, traditions, and preparation of tea, it also showed me that I could, in fact, make a move into the industry and turn my personal passion into something more.
