Description | In collaboration with the Tea Association of Canada, Algonquin College`s Certificate program provides the training to become a knowledgeable tea professional, well versed in all aspects of tea as they relate to the consumer. Students learn the history of tea, processing methods, grading standards and industry terminology. They apply their knowledge of tea and food pairing to recommend and develop tea menus for retail and food service environments. Students also taste a wide variety of teas and learn to cup taste, blend and distinguish teas from around the world.
Once course requirements are successfully met, students can challenge the Tea Association of Canada competency exam to qualify as a certified Tea Sommelier. Graduates may work in an ever-increasing range of settings including bed and breakfasts, tea rooms, embassies, hotels, restaurants and retail tea shops. To qualify for this certificate, you must complete the program within three years. | | |
