At the same time, domestic tea consumption is also increasing.

Beijing Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision recently revealed that at present, each person in Beijing consumes 1 kg of tea every year. It is understood that there are currently more than 400 teahouses in Beijing, and the number of teahouses in northern cities such as Beijing, Tianjin, Jinan and Shenyang is still growing at an annual rate of about 20%. The tea industry has great potential for sustainable development, and as a new profession, there is still a great demand space for tea artists.

A senior tea artist earns 3000 yuan a month.

The first training course for senior tea artists was successfully concluded in Shanghai a few days ago. Thirty-six students won the first batch of titles of "senior tea artists" in China and won unanimous praise in their respective posts. With the success of Shanghai's bid to host the 20 10 World Expo, the market gap of "senior tea artists" as the representative of high-grade cultural image is very huge.

Thirty-six senior tea artists who have just been released have long been attracted by major enterprises. Their average monthly salary is around 3000 yuan, and some foreign-related units are even higher. Among the first batch of students, 92% are women, and 78% have bachelor degree or above, including 2 graduate students, most of whom have mastered more than one foreign language. Mainly distributed in Hu Xin Pavilion, Wisteria Garden, Xuyou Teahouse and other famous teahouses, as well as foreign-funded commercial enterprises, hotels and other industries, and some of them work as teachers in schools and start their own businesses.

A satisfying occupation

Tea artist is the disseminator of tea culture, the "accelerator" of tea circulation, and a warm and tasteful profession. 1999, the Ministry of Labor officially listed "Tea Artist" as one of the occupations in People's Republic of China (PRC) Vocational Classification Ceremony 1800, and formulated the National Professional Standard for Tea Artists. Now middle and senior tea artists can be described as "hot items" in the market. All major tea enterprises, teahouses and foreign-related hotels regard people with the qualification of tea artists as an important factor for the further development of enterprises. Professional trained tea artists can often gain the trust of consumers and bring direct economic benefits to enterprises.

A qualified tea artist should be able to brew different kinds of tea according to the requirements of tea-making skills; Organize tea performances; Design various specifications of tea banquets, tea parties, etc. Its technical level is divided into three levels: primary, intermediate and advanced. The scope of work is mainly in teahouses (workshops), teahouses and tea art performance groups. "Feel tranquility from tea, pursue tranquility, enjoy the self-satisfaction brought by tea, and realize the true meaning of life", with elegant gestures, accurate brewing, vivid explanation, and pleasing teahouse design ... The talents displayed by tea artists have made tea culture widely spread.

Tea artist is a profession that needs professional knowledge and skills. Cultivating a senior tea artist depends not only on the support of the state and the strong training of the unit, but also on its own efforts and struggle. Today's tea artists are not only as simple as making a cup of tea for their guests, but also need rich knowledge of tea culture, aesthetic and artistic appreciation ability, different tea identification and brewing skills, and professional foreign language skills, becoming an important link in the tea circulation chain and becoming a veritable "doctor of tea". It is common sense in all walks of life to train tea artists, especially middle and senior tea artists.

The expanding Shanghai tea consumption market has not only brought the urgent pursuit of tea artists, but also made every Chinese and foreign guest feel the profound connotation of China tea culture.

However, at present, many employees do not understand trade, tea culture, advantages and disadvantages, and brewing techniques, which affects the service quality of the industry, which is extremely disproportionate to the accelerated development of Shanghai's economy and culture. Of the 34,000 employees in the tea market in this city, only 138 have obtained primary and intermediate national vocational qualification certificates after training and examination, which is really rare.
