Let\u2019s roll up our sleeves and get to work creating a tea culture even here, in the capital of espresso.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking a look at the very encouraging data from the tea market in other European and American countries, <\/span><b>we can get started right at the coffee bar, an emblem of <\/b><b><i>Italian-ness<\/i><\/b><b> and espresso, beginning with improvements in service, the selection of teas offered, and above all the professionalism and communication associated with the product.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are some excellent <\/span><b>tea rooms<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Italy, but these <\/span><b>remain small, isolated, and almost niche establishments.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There are still very few of them and they\u2019re primarily concentrated in northern Italy\u2019s big cities. <\/span><b>Many other businesses, following the trend<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and sensing an opportunity to increase their revenue, <\/span><b>are trying to enter this world.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I sincerely appreciate the effort they\u2019re making, but with my \u201ctechnical\u201d eye as a tea expert, I can see at first glance that the <\/span><b>problem is how they\u2019re going about it!<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> And just as sincerely, I confess that I too avoid ordering tea at coffee bars, setting for an espresso or cappuccino prepared with professionalism and skill.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Many small mistakes thwart any efforts made to offer quality tea, whether loose or in a bag.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The end result doesn\u2019t satisfy the demanding palate of tea lovers who, disappointed, are unlikely to want to repeat the (negative) experience. Not to mention the high price, often two or three times more than that of a cappuccino served at the table.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a Nielson study, when asked why they don\u2019t drink tea, 67% of people who consume beverages outside of the home answered that it\u2019s because they prefer coffee. In matters of taste, there can be no dispute. But if we take a look at the subsequent answers, they have nothing to do with tea\u2019s supposed greatest obstacle, aka coffee. The answers say that it\u2019s too bitter, doesn\u2019t taste good, and is inconvenient and impractical. There are even those who have never ordered it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The way I see it, aside from an unpleasant taste due to errors in its preparation, <\/span><b>tea doesn\u2019t occur to Italians because it isn\u2019t considered among the many products present on the menu or because it\u2019s communicated in a rushed, unattractive, and approximate way.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often, even in the most renown pastry shops and luxury hotels, we find a boring list of invented names that provide no information about the type of tea, the country of origin, the taste and aroma, the best time of day to consume it, the steeping times, etc.. Care for some examples?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cGardens of Sicily\u201d&#8230; I imagine a citrus flavored tea, butwhich? Green? Black?

He very politely sought the help of a co-worker, who was also completely unprepared. At times less pomp and more substance would be better! As, for example, I happened to observe in drab little bars in the tiny, isolated towns of Andalusia in the early 90s. At the time I was attending the University of Granada, and this time abroad coincided with my discovery of and infatuation with the culture of tea. Almost thirty years ago, in Spain, the bartender at the \u201ccorner bar\u201d knew how to offer clients a small selection of loose leaf teas prepared in the proper way. This experience was a total shock to me, given that Italy\u2019s selection of teas at the time was limited to teabags of Earl Grey or English Breakfast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Abroad (in Spain, France, Canada, the United Stats) the leap in quality was made decades ago<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> due to a market which began to consume high quality (or rather stopped consuming low quality) teas thanks to <\/span><b>more and correct information and, above all, specific professional training<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (such as classes to become a Tea Sommelier or courses dedicated to sensory analysis).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-full wp-image-17520 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Inner_horizzontal_Si-puo-bere-un-buon-te_2.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Inner_horizzontal_Si-puo-bere-un-buon-te_2.jpg\" alt=\"t\u00e8 \" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27800%27%20height%3D%27400%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20800%20400%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27800%27%20height%3D%27400%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Inner_horizzontal_Si-puo-bere-un-buon-te_2-200x100.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Inner_horizzontal_Si-puo-bere-un-buon-te_2-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Inner_horizzontal_Si-puo-bere-un-buon-te_2-400x200.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Inner_horizzontal_Si-puo-bere-un-buon-te_2-500x250.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Inner_horizzontal_Si-puo-bere-un-buon-te_2-600x300.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Inner_horizzontal_Si-puo-bere-un-buon-te_2-700x350.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Inner_horizzontal_Si-puo-bere-un-buon-te_2-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Inner_horizzontal_Si-puo-bere-un-buon-te_2.jpg 800w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME AND IMPROVE SERVICE?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course! <\/span><b>By starting to give tea the attention it deserves, placing it on the same level as coffee and wine, of which we\u2019re experts.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A little curiosity is all it would take to discover that behind a cup of tea lies a whole world, one as sophisticated as those of wine or the best Arabica.

Be wary of those who promise to turn you into experts after tasting ten teas or who want to force their tastes or a single preparation style on you (for example, some eastern ceremonies are incompatible with the pace and spaces of the bar\u2019s countertop). A professional must have empathy and be able to listen to you in order to truly provide suggestions on how to improve your service and stand out from the competition. <\/span><b>He or she must provide solutions, not complications!<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I remain of the idea that many \u201cInstagram gurus\u201d should limit themselves to organizing tea clubs at home with just a few \u201cselect\u201d friends, allowing them to freely indulge their egos without wasting the time of others who are working.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Every situation is unique, so there\u2019s no sure-fire and replicable tea menu.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The selection must always be developed according to the establishment\u2019s style, atmosphere, ambience, decor, type of service, number of people in charge of preparation, type of clientele, budget, and consumption forecasts. A spa will have a different selection as compared to the menu of a tea room, just as the service at a buffet breakfast will be different from that offered in the lounge of a 5-star hotel.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is it necessary to invest a lot of money in purchasing elegant porcelain tea sets or sophisticated cast iron tea pots? Absolutely not, it depends!

It\u2019s better to have fewer teas, that are easily managed (in terms of preparation, supply, storage, and optimal preservation), well-communicated, and carefully prepared, than countless and often expired bags of low quality tea left on the tables and touched by the clients who sat down before us.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many places prepare tea using the boiling water from the coffee machine. This couldn\u2019t be more wrong! <\/span><b>The water must be heated with an electric kettle equipped with an internal thermometer. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every family of tea requires a different temperature and steeping time, otherwise you risk burning it, causing it to become bitter, astringent, and only mildly aromatic. Furthermore, it\u2019s necessary to follow the proper sequence of steps for the preparation: first the leaves or the teabag must be placed within the filter or teapot and only afterwards must the boiling water be added. When we order a macchiato, no bartender in the world would ever pour the foam into the cup before the espresso. Just like no sommelier would ever serve a Barbaresco in the glass of a Pantelleria straw wine! Why is it so hard to follow these basic simple rules?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To best respect this rule (\u201c<\/span><b>the water must be poured over the leaves or teabag<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d), you have two options. You can either bring the already prepared tea to the table or, if the pace of the bar doesn\u2019t adapt well to the time necessary for steeping the tea, you can let your clients prepare it themselves, bringing a small hourglass and recommending the correct time. In this case, don\u2019t forget to bring a small service dish on which to place the leaves or teabag once the tea has been extracted. Often this small detail is neglected, resulting in unpleasant drips on the saucer, in the ashtray, or on the table. A real mess!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you already put the previous suggestions into practice, don\u2019t take shortcuts with <\/span><b>the preservation of the tea<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Its worst enemies are light, heat, moisture, and other strong smells that the tea can absorb, thus contaminating it. So avoid displaying it in non-hermetic, glass containers that can cause it to degrade rapidly.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019d like to ask you one last question that may seem obvious, but actually isn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Have you tasted and do you know all of the teas present in your selection?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Have your employees? Understanding what you\u2019re purchasing is crucial to successfully selling it. <\/span><b>Demand that your suppliers provide you with all of the information on the teas that you\u2019ve chosen in order to best promote and serve them. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t purchase blindly: even tea in a beautiful package, once steeped, might color the water yet lack taste, aroma, and persistence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, the proper indications and good training don\u2019t always reach every link in the tea business chain, from producer to end consumer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In conclusion, tea isn\u2019t just hot, colored water. It\u2019s much more!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This beverage offers different flavors and complex aromatic notes and involves everything from ancient rituals to avant-garde preparation methods.
