Nora Gubins is about to be one of Canada's first certified tea sommeliers. She has completed the 140 hour George Brown College Tea Sommelier and just waiting for the Tea Association of Canada to begin its' Tea Certification process ( apparently in the Fall of 2009 ). Her world travels have augmented her knowledge of tea as has her years of study of art history, cultural anthropology and all things kind of cool. Feel free to follow TeaQueen as she shares the fascinating world of tea with other tea lovers. Oh, the name TeaQueen reflects her Beach status - having lived decades on Queen Street and now just a few blocks north of it, yet still in her beloved Beaches.
