Questex, the owner of World Tea Expo and World Tea News, is partnering with Australian Tea Masters, the leading organization for global tea training and tea education, to expand the World Tea Academy (WTA) education hub.
Australian Tea Masters’ extensive tea experience – together with its wide global network – provides an opportunity to expand World Tea Academy’s educational options and provide enhanced choice and value for students in the fast-growing tea market.

With a goal of building a community of tea lovers and professionals who value and understand the excellence of high-quality teas, as well as the tea farmers who produce the tea, this is the perfect collaboration for Questex.
Australian Tea Masters will be responsible for operational management of World Tea Academy and will introduce expanded choices of classes and educational opportunities for tea professionals to learn, collaborate and engage with the global tea community.
As part of this collaboration, new World Tea Academy features include:
- Launch of a new website, which provides improved flexibility for completing classes
- Ability to complete classes on demand
- Choice of online classes, plus new in person education in select locations
- Opportunity to attend the annual World Tea Expo, which takes place March 18-20, 2024 in Las Vegas, with special discounted rates for students, and World Tea Academy meetups
