Open
Your Own Tea Room
How
to Open a Tea House and
Start a Tea Shop Business
Do
you love tea? Imagine owning a rewarding retail business
that allows you to profit from your passion for this healthy
and delicious drink. You can when you open your own tea room.
According
to the Tea Association of America, the U.S. tea industry is expected
to grow to over $10 billion by 2010, an increase of over
60% from 2005.
As tea becomes increasingly
popular
among consumers, tea rooms are enjoying unprecedented growth in
North America, similar to the early days of the boom in coffee
houses.
"This is a perfect
time to open a tea room, before you can see our horizon glowing with tea
houses."
— Mark "Dr.Tea" Ukra, Owner
Dr. Tea's Tea Garden
and Herbal Emporium
West Hollywood, California
With so many people feeling
harried and stressed these days, the growing appeal of tea rooms as a welcome
respite
is only natural. Although many coffee shops offer tea, a tea room (also
known as a tea house) offers a whole different culture and
a tranquil atmosphere.
Plus tea rooms offer people
a greater variety of teas, which makes finding and trying new teas
an exciting and pleasurable adventure.
There are many benefits
to opening your own tea house. When you open a tea room, you will have
insider information about the latest trends and most sought after
teas.
You will have access to some of the world's finest tea and you will
have the luxury of selling the type of tea you want to sell.
"One of the great rewards
reaped from owning a tea room is the opportunity to meet some of the nicest
people in the world. Tea drinkers are well-traveled and well-educated.
They are very appreciative of beautifully-prepared foods and well-brewed
teas."
— Bruce Richardson,
Owner
Elmwood Fine Teas and Benjamin Press
As a tea room owner, you will
have the freedom to make your own decisions and express your own
creative
spirit throughout your business. You will also create the atmosphere where
your customers can enjoy a memorable dining experience.
For example, when you start
a tea room business, you might choose to open:
-
an elegant Victorian
or traditional tea room
-
an Asian-inspired or
themed tea room
-
a children’s tea room
-
a sophisticated tea bar
or tea lounge
-
a café that sells
a variety of fine specialty teas and tea-based drinks
-
a bubble tea shop that
sells freshly blended tea smoothies
If opening a tea room sounds

"More and more Americans,
especially baby boomers, seem to recognize the need to eat and drink better.
Tea fits into their direct health needs as well as the indirect healthy
desire to have some wind-down time and take some quality time for themselves.
Even in difficult financial times, everyone still needs small indulgences!"
— Cynthia Gold
Tea Sommelier
The Boston Park Plaza Hotel
& Towers
"The most rewarding part
of operating a tea shop for us is the amazing people we meet. We wanted
to create a place where people could come and leave the outside outside,
and even if it was just for a few moments, they could deeply relax and
be accepted for who they truly are… People meet people here, people
develop great friendships, people do business here, people just chill.
It is a wonderful thing to see and be part of each day. It’s like
having a tea party with your friends every day!"
