What is a tea master?

A Tea Master is an expert in the selection, preparation, and presentation of tea. They possess deep knowledge about different types of tea leaves, brewing techniques, tea ceremonies, and the history and culture surrounding tea. Tea Masters may work in tea houses, restaurants, or as consultants, and are often responsible for educating others about the nuances of tea. Their expertise is similar to that of a sommelier in the wine world, ensuring that tea is served at its best possible quality.
