Francesco Vezzola

Tea Experience Specialist

Guided tea experiences, workshops, and cultural storytelling

Based in Scotland, working across Europe


I design and lead tea experiences that weave together culture, sensory exploration, and a slower, more intentional way of engaging with tea.


Originally from Italy, I've spent nearly a decade working with tea across Europe—developing workshops, events, and curated tasting experiences.

My background includes hands-on experience in tea production. I worked in a tea factory in the Azores, which gave me a practical understanding of tea beyond tasting and service.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Agronomy from the University of Milan, focused on environmental systems and mountain territories—a perspective that continues to shape how I approach tea.

After 14 years in Vienna, where I founded Tea Lovers Collective, I'm now based in Edinburgh.
