Tea is having a moment—and it's long overdue.

In this week's episode of Eating at a Meeting, I’m joined by Amy March, executive chef and co-founder of The Steeping Room and Urban Tea House, to talk about why tea deserves a starring role on your event menu.

With over two decades of experience in specialty tea, culinary arts, and holistic health, Amy brings the perfect blend of insight and inspiration for planners looking to serve more than just caffeine.

We will explore how tea can create moments of calm, spark cultural connection, support wellness goals, and build community at the table. Amy shares real strategies for incorporating tea into events—from elegant stations and immersive tastings to seasonal pairings and signature mocktails—turning every pour into an opportunity for impact.

And if you’ve ever questioned whether your F&B dollars could be better spent, this episode offers a deliciously purposeful alternative to that pricey pot of coffee.

Let’s rethink the role of tea and use it to steep our events in intention, connection, and creativity.
