Tea has changed my life. It’s true.
When I began to practice a lifestyle of tea, I literally bloomed like an oolong leaf releasing it’s liquor.
Here are the top lessons that revolutionized my life.
#1 You Can Pursue Your Passion AND Make Money
For a long time, I thought it was either one way or the other. You either make money or you love what you do. When I began to research the tea business I found a great fit between something I enjoyed and something that could pay my bills. This was a huge lightbulb moment for me.
#2 Tea Takes Time To Steep and So Do I
Learning to brew loose leaf tea taught me to be patient. Quality is always worth the wait.
#3 Pouring Tea For Others Brings Me Joy
It’s easy to be self -centered when there is always something keeping me busy. When I discovered tea, I learned how to give the gift of hospitality. I discovered I could give in person (in my tea business) or in my home or even online (with a virtual cup of tea). Giving to others brings them joy and that fills MY CUP.
#4 Quality Leaves Are Worth The Investment And So Am I
Before I knew anything about tea, I thought grocery store bagged tea was the best.
Then one day I tasted full leaf tea. WOW! It was SO worth the investment.
It was good for my body and my mind. I was hooked. Suddenly, I discovered I too was worth investing in.
What was I waiting for? It was time to start getting the training and the skills I needed to build a true tea business.
I wanted to pursue my passion. I was worth it and I wanted to be better than a store bought grocery tea.
I wanted my tea business to be qualiTEA.
#5 A Cracked Pot Adds Character To The Shelf
Ok, so I am not really a crack pot (smile) but I am a person who has flaws. For years I focused on the things I was unable to do just right.
One day, a friend said , “Only you know what it is supposed to be like. They don’t. Learn to give it your best and they will love it.”
WOW! This was huge.
I discovered that you can put a cracked pot on a shelf and as long as you don’t point out it’s weakness, people don’t notice.
Translation?
I didn’t have to be perfect at everything to own a tea business. I just had to focus on what I was good at. ( What a relief!)
As you can see, tea, the tea lifestyle and the tea business have changed my life.
Since 1997, I have been working with a special group of people all over the world that share one passion, they dream of owning a tea business.
