Our chief Tea Sommelier™ and Certified Tea Specialist™, Brendan has been steeped in the tea industry for over 20 years. From founding Canada’s first teahouse chain Steeps Tea, to smuggling a traditional Chai recipe back from the famed mountains of the Karakoram (kind thanks to Sherpa Cook Rosie-Ali) that eventually became the ubiquitous ‘The Chai Company’, we truly have been around the tea garden and back.
