Hi!

My name is Delano Tamborini (but you can call me Del). I'm a Vancouver-based entrepreneur, Certified Tea Sommelier instructor, consultant, and bon vivant with an irrepressible passion for the world's greatest beverage: tea.

I'm the Co-founder and Executive Director of the annual Vancouver Tea Festival (currently on hiatus until 2027), and also taught the Tea Association of Canada's Tea Sommelier program from 2013-2019 when it was held at Vancouver Community College.

I believe tea should be a fun and joyous experience - always - and my mission is to share the happiness tea brings me in hopes that others' journeys of tea discovery will bring a similarly profound joy.

Happy tea drinking!
