The book “Tea Cultures of Europe: Heritage and Hospitality” by Prof. Dr. Hartwig Bohne Bohne has been published by De Gruyter! Katrīna Wild and Gundega Silniece also had the honour to contribute a chapter mentioning Tea Tea Me. 📚

This chapter explored the concept of niche tea tourism, tea production and tourism in Europe, tea education, and innovative digital applications for tea. 🍵🌱

However, it would not have been possible without the contributions of several people: the correspondents offering their insights, including Nishchal Banskota (Nepal Tea Collective, PBC.), Anil Cooke (Ceylon Tea Roadmap), Prof. Amnaj Khaokhrueamuang (University of Shizuoka), Prof. Lee Jolliffe (Routledge Handbook of Tea Tourism), Denis Shumakov (TeaTips.Ru), Vincent Liu (MyTeaPal App), Tristan Otto (Steeped App), Gaëlle Rousseau (Jardins de Thé), Hassan Afshari (Tea Masters Cup Iran), Amy Jones, and Hannes Saarpuu (Renegade Tea Estate, Georgia). Additional thanks go to the proofreaders Gavin A. Carre, Martin Snášel, Prof. Lee Jolliffe, and Clare Butcher.

The book is a beautiful investigation into the tea culture phenomenon in Europe. From samovars in the East, Dresmer blue porcelain in Germany, tulip glasses in Turkey, silver teapots in Great Britain, the first tea plantations in Portugal and Georgia, etc. 🍃✨

Worth adding to your tea library! 🫖

Colombo International Tea Convention 2024

Exciting news! Gundega, the founder of Tea Tea Me, will be speaking at the Colombo International Tea Convention 2024 in Sri Lanka. She will be presenting during the "Tech and Tea: An Unorthodox Pairing for a Promising Future" session, led by Mr. Daniel William Bolton of Tea Journey.

The convention will feature six sessions covering a range of topics, including the future of tea, emerging trends and innovations, the value chain, consumer preferences, fair pricing, climate change, and the livelihood of people involved in the tea industry.

We are thrilled to be part of this grand event. We look forward to tasting exquisite Sri Lankan teas, visiting smallholder tea gardens and factories, and gaining inspiration from our esteemed colleagues in the tea industry. See you in Sri Lanka! 🇱🇰

It was our sincere pleasure to welcome a distinguished delegation from Fuji City, Japan, including the respected mayor, Mr. Yoshimasa Konagai, to Tējo tea house in Riga, Latvia. This meeting aimed to foster cooperation in tea tourism and promote Fuji tea in Latvia and Europe, as part of the broader mission to strengthen diplomatic relations between the cities of Fuji and Kuldīga. We earnestly hope these discussions will lead to the successful and fruitful promotion of Japanese culture and Fuji tea in this region.

The meeting was attended by Mr. Yoshimasa Konagai, Mr. Toshikatsu Ishii, Mr. Masaharu Ueda, Mr. Kazuo Yamaguchi, Ms. Katrina Wild, and Ms. Gundega Silniece.

Two years ago, tea producer Mr. Norihiko Yamada and the Fuji Global Education Network delegation visited Gundega at her tea house, while Katrina visited Mr. Yamada and Mr. Yamaguchi in Fuji City, exploring the tea fields, factory, and paying a visit to the town hall.

We are delighted to be part of this meaningful cultural exchange and hope it will further integrate tea into the friendship between our two countries. 🇯🇵🇱🇻

Update 🌱✨

We sincerely apologise for the temporary hold on TEA TEA ME development since May 2023 due to backend processes. We’re excited about gradually resuming our activities. Thank you for your continued support and interest in bringing this platform to life. We are committed to working diligently on this project!

Last year, our creative associate Katrina Wild represented TEA TEA ME at several events in South Korea. She attended the World Tea Summit, the Hadong and Boseong Tea Expos, the Globalisation of Boseong Tea, and the Tea Masters Cup South Korea 2023. The UK, Kenya, Sri Lanka, India, France, Mexico, Belgium, Bhutan, Georgia, Russia and Latvia came together to celebrate Korean tea. 🇰🇷

Katrina presented TEA TEA ME as a digital tool for the tea industry and discussed tea tourism and specialty tea in Europe. Her presentation for the Boseong County’s officials was also broadcasted live on local TV. 🍵🌱

And now, from July 24th to 26th, our founder, Gundega Silniece, will be a speaker at the Colombo International Tea Convention 2024 in Sri Lanka. 🇱🇰

Once again, we are wish to express thanks to the tea community supporting our cause.

The new story for MastersTalk is out as part of our visit last April! Nestled on the verdant hills near the Myanmar border, the Red Lahu tribe in Doi Mu Puen shares a remarkable connection with tea—a tradition that has transformed lives and landscapes. As part of the Ahpa Tea ร้านอาหารชาอาปาที initiative, an inspiring blend of tea production, community empowerment, and sustainable tourism, the tribe welcomes visitors to delve into their rich tea heritage.

We extend my heartfelt gratitude to Prof. Lee Jolliffe for facilitating TEA TEA ME's connection with Yok Chaikor of Ahpa Tea and Lahu Phumanee Home Hotel and Mr. Udom Chidnayee of Udomporn Tours and Chiang Mai Tourism Business Association, whose gracious hospitality played a pivotal role in making this collaboration a truly enriching experience.

Explore the transformative tea tradition of the Red Lahu tribe in Doi Mu Puen. Ahpa Tea weaves community, production, and sustainable tourism of rich heritage.

4 days to go! 京都おぶぶ茶苑 Obubu's Kickstarter intends to fund the renovation of their sencha factory’s second-floor space to become a collaborative workshop, event, and café space. They are creating a platform for people all around the world to visit Wazuka and discover local single-source tea, from our farm that cares for the leaves, and above the very factory that processes the tea. As a community and event space, Obubu plans to hold events such as the following:

- Hand-rolling tea events, where you’ll be able to create your own tea from start to finish
- Matcha education and hands-on experience
- Wagashi (Japanese Sweets) making experience
- Local collaborations and events with our fellow Wazuka businesses & artisans
- Japanese Tea Master courses

The pledge's include great bundles of staff and community favourite teas, Chabako wooden boxes, Tokoname kyusu, postcards, tenugui, online courses, samue clothing, mochi, pottery and wagashi making experiences, as well as tea hand-rolling experience, tea tours and tea festivals and so much more!

By pledging, you would support a great cause and lovely tea community In Japan, as well as receive lovely rewards and gifts yourself. :)
