On the occasion of the First International Tea Day, Tea Masters Cup announces Tea Masters Sketch Contest with support of Ceylon Tea!
Tea Masters Sketch is a contest of champions. The contest is designated for the winners of all national Tea Masters Cup championships (from 2013 to 2020) in all TMC categories (Tea Preparation, Tea Pairing, Tea Mixology and Tea Tasting) to participate in Tea Masters Sketch!
To join Tea Masters Sketch a tea master should make a short Tea Sketch video and send it to the Tea Masers Sketch organizers (see Rules and contacts below). The author of the best Tea Sketch video will win the Grand Prize — guest tour to the next Tea Masters Cup International competition.
