She knows her subject and provides interesting historical facts, as well as current bits of fun trivia.

But, for all intent and purposes, we were escorted into the magic of China via Elizabeth's impressive knowledge of the food, tea and customs, not to mention the great places to shop and grab some excellent green tea ice cream along the way! She is thoroughly professional and completely warm and charming as she expertly guides us in the way of Tea and China! I highly recommend this tour to one and all.

I highly recommend these tours for gifts, as a special event for a group, or simply as a way to expand your tastebuds!”

Quotes from workshop attendees at the World Tea Expo held in Las Vegas and Providence
“Elizabeth was amazing! The blend of professionalism, passion, willingness to share and her deep sense of humanity was very inspiring and refreshing. I know my business will profit from her recommendations.”
“Very personable ... great relevant information useable right now regardless of where you are with your business.”
“I have been to many merchandising lectures/classes and this is by far the best I've seen.”
“More time-she seems to be overflowing with good information-I'm sure there is so much more we can learn from her.”
“Everyone attending should take this class! Elizabeth is outstanding.”
“Most effective thing at this conference.”
“I attended your marketing course ...I'm happy to report that rearranging steeping pots and cups produced a 300% increase in sales! Textiles, properly displayed, produced a similar increase. I used the grouping methods you discussed in Las Vegas, which really made the items stand out. Furthermore, through merchandise placement, I can actually predict which displays will be viewed first then second and so on. I'm now able to lead customers through the store without a word...”
“She was a well-prepared and thoughtful speaker… Most helpful for me was a series of questions designed to help focus, plan, and to define one’s personal goals. I’d recommend taking this seminar if she offers it at next year's Tea Expo.”
