@anianimalsmoe Congratulations on the results of your hard work! Is TEA an acronym for something I am unfamiliar with? I would enjoy hearing more.

Tea as in Camelia Sinensis, the caffeine leaf-based drink.

Looking to job change to tea merchant...

I've recently learnt that Barista FIRE is the term for when one retires early to do whatever they want. So it's kinda appropriate 🤯

@anianimalsmoe I wasn't sure since search wasn't turning anything up for tea certification except something in Texas. Anyways, that is super exciting. Who does certification for these things, out of curiosity?

I hope you keep sharing your journey in this regard. ​:akko_smile2:​

Think of it like sommelier certification, but for tea.

Well, it's nice to have been for training before actually going around hunting down random tea farmers to cut deals for tea.
