As founder of The Protocol School of Washington, Dorothea Johnson is acknowledged as an authority on etiquette and protocol. Growing up enjoying afternoon tea with her family in North Carolina, she recognized years later that teatime affords the perfect setting for teaching both dining and social skills. For many years, she authored a “Tea & Etiquette” column for TeaTime magazine. Working with renowned tea educator Bruce Richardson, she co-authored Tea & Etiquette: Taking Tea for Business and Pleasure, which serves as a step-by-step guide on the proper protocol for the time-honored tradition of afternoon tea. Her other books include Children’s Tea & Etiquette and Modern Manners, written with her granddaughter actress Liv Tyler. She also created the Tea & Etiquette certification program to educate tea professionals on how to teach those skills to students of tea across the globe. While Dorothea sold Tea & Etiquette to Bruce Richardson in 2006, she continues to be a paradigm for propriety among the tea community.
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‼️
