Twenty-five years ago when Rosemary Staggs, owner of World Cup of Tea, experienced her first afternoon tea in England she fell in love with everything tea.  Ever since that trip she has devoted countless hours to the study of tea. Her accomplishments include the completion of Pearl Dexter’s Tea School and the Elmwood Inn’s How to Open A Tea Room Seminar, a level one and two certification from the Tea Association of the United States and countless other tea seminars.  She has traveled to both India and China to learn first hand about the cultivation and culture of tea.  Rosemary has been published several times in Tea: A Magazine and hopes to continue her study for many more years to come.  Though many may consider her knowledge of tea complete, Rosemary will always consider herself a student of tea.
