When Donna Fellman decided to turn her passion for tea into a profession, she never imagined she would eventually become Program Director and Online Education Director of the World Tea Academy. Her passion drove her to spend a decade educating herself on tea leaves, including traveling to India for three months to experience the culture and to learn about the origins of tea. For several years, Donna built her expertise by managing various teahouses and working as a tea and teaware buyer. Having discovered her love for teaching, Donna founded the Tea Education Alliance, a group that specialized in staff and management training, in 2003. A few years later, she accepted a position to teach and write programs with the Specialty Tea Institute. Now with the World Tea Academy, she teaches in-depth online courses to those desiring to have an acute understanding of tea and the foundational skills for success in the industry.
I look forward to each issue of TeaTime. Each issue is colorful, creative, and inspiring in addition to being about tea which I adore. Thank you‼️
