Rebecca Goldschmidt started The Random Tea Room in 2008 with a desire for a healthier lifestyle and to build a stronger connection with her community. With a BFA in Sculpture, years working in art galleries, scenic shops and antique sales, Rebecca had a lot of experience helping others run their businesses but no prior knowledge of tea.
During the renovation of the Tea Room she met her Tea Sensei who taught her the “Way of Tea.” Over the years, there has been an abundance of tea and herb knowledge shared by the staff and customers. The never ending journey of the leaf has created many connections within the tea community during which Rebecca and the Cha-Ren (Tea People) of RTR have gleaned a richly diverse tapestry of knowledge which they happily share with you.
