Tiffany Williams
- Tiffany grew up in Southern California, drinking herbal, black, and chai tea. Herbal teas kept her immune system strong. Black and chai teas helped her stay awake during her math lectures at Claremont McKenna College, where she earned a degree in Economics/Mathematics. During her junior year, Tiffany participated in a Japanese tea ceremony. A delegation of Japanese college students toured the world, performing a Japanese tea ceremony to promote peace. After graduation, Tiffany accepted a position as an English Conversation teacher in Tokyo, Japan. She spent one year in Japan, teaching English, drinking tea, and seeing historical sites. Japan exposed her to loose-leaf tea, Japanese tea, and English tea time. Returning to the U.S. a few years ago, Tiffany found it difficult to find loose-leaf tea. She decided to start Boutique Teas. Boutique Teas will offer a selection of unique loose-leaf teas rarely found in the U.S.
