After the certification of the Tea Cultural Route in 2019, participating in the Zugdidi Startup week in 2021 and winning the prize was the main incentive for turning this project into a business process.

Since then, I have officially registered company "Tea Country" and many great projects have been implemented, such as: marketing strategy; VR tea tours; delivery system, exhibitions, tea menu, literary tea, modern analytical systems and other relevant projects.

According to the historical sources, tea appeared in Georgia more than 200 years ago and in 1900 years, Georgian tea (produced by Lao Jin Zhao) received the award for the best quality at the Paris exhibition, also the first tea picking tractor was created in Georgia in 1963 by Shalva Kereselidze and forty years ago, Georgia was one of the biggest tea producer countries in the world.

Advantage of Georgian tea compared to other countries is, that it contains small amounts of tannins, which is why it has a gentle and soft taste. Also Our tea plantations are located in the north, which gives it different taste and is ecologically 100% organic.

Our European and International partners - Protea Academy APS, Association “Tea grown in Europe”; European Tea Culture Research Circle, Tea Masters Cup, Tea and Coffee Association; FAO and also WG ITT (Int. working group on tea tourism).
