Agnieszka was first introduced to tea growing up in Poland, where tea is a social and cultural beverage. She found a deep connection with the world of tea and was inspired by the quote “You will never have to work a day in your life if you do something you’re passionate about”. Later on, Agnieszka graduated from DePaul and was hired as Director of Finance at TeaGschwendner, a German premium loose leaf tea company. As her knowledge and love for tea blossomed, Agnieszka found her calling and became a certified Tea Sommelier in 2017.
Soon after, she opened tea shops in Chicago to bring together people and tea from all around the world. Agnieszka has traveled to many exotic countries to learn first hand about tea culture and how it goes from a tea leaf to the perfect brew in your cup. Most recently, she has expanded and opened her very own tea shop and online store to serve various globally-recognized, high quality tea brands and tea accessories to tea lovers all over the country. Agnieszka welcomes you to dive deeper into the world of tea with her tea shop, Chicago Teahouse.
