Tea Biz Boot Camp


Have you dreamed of having a tearoom of your own?  
A place where you can share your love of tea and do things 'the right way' (*wink*). 
A place where you can enjoy all of your favorite tea treats in an atmosphere that's decorated exactly to your taste and specifications?

If you've tiptoed around the subject long enough and are ready to get serious about entrepreneurship, Tea Biz Boot Camp will help you get things moving. Classes are taught by seasoned tearoom owners who are keenly aware of the challenges you'll face, and who have practical recommendations on how to run a successful tea business as well as solutions for the unexpected issues you may encounter.


Spring 2026 Dates TBD 
(Sun 2-5p, Mon 10a-4p, Tues 10a-4p)
Huntington Beach, CA &/or online via Google Meet

This intensive workshop will cover everything from preparatory business set-up (business plans, permits, insurance, and other less-than-fun stuff) to day-to-day operations, securing your niche, dealing with vendors & staff, marketing & social media, displaying merchandise for maximum effect, and hands-on food & tea preparation tutorials.  

By the time you leave, you'll not only know how to run your tea business, but how to provide a five-star tea experience for your guests. Concludes with certification ceremony and afternoon tea as prepared by participants, and served by your instructors!
  • Day 1 - We'll casually meet in the afternoon to get to know each other over tea, and to share your thoughts on the tearoom of your dreams. This segment will lay the groundwork for the particulars that will apply to your establishment 
  • Day 2 -  The business of running a business: Our morning session will cover business basics and how to get started; the afternoon session will cover behind-the-scenes business practices specific to running a tearoom, including promotional ideas and social media tips
  • Day 3 - Showtime: In the morning we'll go over front-of-the-house matters including how to set your tables, decorate windows and display merchandise. The afternoon session will focus on tea food preparation, culminating in our certification tea ceremony
