World Tea Infusion Challenge05 Jul 2011 By Anna Huddleston, World Tea News Contributor

LAS VEGAS, Nev.

Steven Downer of Sipping Streams Tea Company in Fairbanks, Ala., showcased his tea expertise and steeping abilities on the last day of the World Tea Expo by taking the top spot at the 2011 Tea Infusion Challenge.

The Tea Infusion Challenge is an annual, competitive event that determines the best Infusionist — a tea professional (non-manufacturer) that has comprehensive product knowledge, a high level of brewing skills and the innate talent to best express a tea’s characteristics and its intended cup.

Kasia Vermaire came in second place. Lawrence who once owned a tea room that was named Best Small Tea Room in the U.S. in 2006, was third. And Munsayac of Tranquil Tea Lounge, who has more than 10 years of experience in restaurant management, came in fourth place.

The highly competitive, interactive Tea Infusion Challenge demonstrated how the same tea can taste drastically different depending on the method used to steep the tea. Tea Infusion Challenge judges rated each contender on: quality of infusion, such as color, taste, smell and leaf agony; technical skills, such as timing, volume and overall presentation; and tea knowledge.

According to Vermaire, “Tea is all about knowledge, dedication and, most of all, sharing. With the 2011 Tea Infusion Challenge, competitors inspire and share with the audience, while telling the beautiful and complex story of tea.”
