Today, she carries the same reverence and passion for the art of tea into her day to day life. Katie founded The Monarch Tea Co. in late 2013 with the vision of bringing together the traditional eloquence of tea time with a modern twist. As a Certified TAC Tea Sommelier® Professional, Katie loves to explore the world of tea with others. Her favourite tea is Cream Earl Grey & Genmaicha.
