September 2nd is Your Day!
2007 is ticking away and there is no better time than the present to make your tea dream a reality. Why is September your month? Because in a few simple weeks you could be ready to cash in on the holiday season by offering your tea services to a hungry public.
Here are a few questions that I often hear:
#1 What are my options when it comes to tea training?
a. You can attend a live seminar put on by the Specialty Tea Institute. These seminars are a 1 day event (per level) and focus completely on the tea leaf.
There is no business training or industry insight associated with these sessions. They are purely tea evaluation seminars.
b. You can attend a 2 day live seminar put on by a variety of tea businesses.
In general these companies focus primarily on setting up a tea room.
c. You can arrange private consultations for a 5 hour one on one session.
d. You can take my Start A Tea Business online training class with a full month of access. I will send tea cupping materials directly to your door and share with you inside information on 17 different types of tea related businesses.
#2 What are the costs for training?
a. Specialty Tea Institute charges around $300-$500 per 1 day seminar.
Most people take at least 3 levels which equates to $1500 plus air, hotel and food and 4 -5 days off of work. Total average is around $675 a day (not including your time off work or any form of business training.)
b. Onsite seminars range from $900-$2,500 plus air, hotel, food and usually 4 days off of work. Total average is about $550-900 a day (not including your time off work or additional training needed for other types of tea business opportunities)
c. Onsite consultation costs between $500-$1,000 per session, per day. In addition plan for air,
hotel, food, and 3 days off of work. Total average is about $633 a day (not including your time off work)
d. My online Start A Tea Business class offers you 24/7 access to class for an entire month. PLUS you can save the materials for future reference whenever you need it.
Discover tea through audio, video, written materials, phone consultations and your professional tea kit including loose leaf tea, a tea brewing chart, a full color tea training book, a tea cupping set and a 5 cd set of audio seminars is delivered to your door. ( a $300 value)
There is no additional airfare, hotel, food or days off of work.
Total cost is $777 plus shipping. Your average is a mere $8 a day total.
No extra charges and no time off work. Plus you can choose to use our three easy payment
plan.
#3 The last questions I often hear is this, can I get all the training I need in two days?
The answer is NO. No way. You can't get all the information you need in 4 weeks either. That is why after 4 years of requests the Start A Tea Business course is now available for access for a full 12 weeks (3 full months!)
Let me be brutally honest.. make learning about tea and the tea business a lifelong passion.
The best way to learn (in my humble opinion) if from someone who has been there, done that and is willing to present a ton of different business options so you can realistically look at which one is right for you.

That's it.
That's all she wrote.
It's easy to see why my online Start A Tea Business program is the most affordable and complete training in the industry.
