Finding it means discovering a <strong>synergistic combination of flavours<\/strong> &#8211; a match where the dish is the star of the show, but the right tea has the power to redefine it, shed new light at each individual ingredient\u2026and leave us awestruck. Experience is key &#8211; most tea sommeliers are professionals who spent years honing their hospitality skills, only to become in charge of a tea program in their place of work by accident or a stroke of luck.<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, in recent years the popularity of <strong>tea sommelier courses<\/strong> has flourished &#8211; various organisations all over the world offer onsite and online lessons that last anywhere between a few days to months. One of the pioneers in this matter is an Australian organisation ATM (<strong>Australian Tea Masters<\/strong>) &#8211; for 2000$ you can receive tea samples and brewing equipment sent to your door, as well as access to online materials about the history of tea, its types, processing, cupping, grading and of course, food pairings.<\/p>\n<p><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-15051 pk-lazyload\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"food and tea pairing\"  width=\"800\"  height=\"1202\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/49529152098_92e00c56c0_k-800x1202.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/49529152098_92e00c56c0_k-800x1202.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/49529152098_92e00c56c0_k-1160x1743.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/49529152098_92e00c56c0_k-1022x1536.jpg 1022w, https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/49529152098_92e00c56c0_k-320x481.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/49529152098_92e00c56c0_k-560x841.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.coffeedesk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/49529152098_92e00c56c0_k.jpg 1363w\" ><\/p>\n<p>While there is undoubtedly a great value in having the necessary bits of information conveniently handpicked and served directly to you, completing such course does not mean you automatically become a tea sommelier.
