One of our favourite results from what we do are the relationships we
build with speakers when we work together and the (often) resulting friendships
that come from getting someone up on stage and bringing their presentation to life.
This week, we’re joined by one such speaker/friend who took the stage in Dublin
way back when—Kas Ali from Waterloo Tea. Together, Jenn and Kas spend No. 54 taking
a look at just how much things have changed since then.
The relationship between the specialty coffee and specialty tea
industries is truly fascinating: in some ways, it feels like specialty tea is
leaps and bounds ahead of us—very few people dispute the difference between “tea
bag tea” and quality tea—but slightly behind in others. It’s particularly interesting
to see the specialty tea industry taking bits and pieces from specialty coffee,
most notably the use of a large competition (the World Tea Brewer’s Cup, taking
place for the first time this year in Dublin) and the creation of large,
membership-based organisations, to rally the industry together and make an
impact on the future of tea.
