Today, I am delighted to personally introduce you to the author of the book „Tea – Cultivation, Varieties, History“ in my series „Fragen an Teefreunde“ („Questions to Tea-lovers“). I hope you enjoy a humorous and thought-provoking interview with a seasoned traveller in the world of tea!
Would you please briefly introduce yourself, Dr. Rohrsen:
I was born in 1942 in Epe (now Gronau) near the Dutch border, grew up in Hanover, studied in Göttingen, St. Andrews (Scotland) and Munich, then was awarded my doctorate at the University of Göttingen, where I spent 15 years researching and teaching English cultural history, and was co-founder of an educational travel company. After that for 7 years I managed the Asia Regional Division of the Carl Duisberg Gesellschaft in Cologne, and later the global tourism marketing for the City of Cologne. Following my retirement in 2001 and my move to Berlin, I founded my own educational travel company and managed its business until 2012, and among other things, in 2009 qualified as a tea sommelier by taking courses and examinations with the Chamber of Industry & Commerce and the University Institute of Nutritional Science in Bonn, gave lectures and in 2013, wrote the paperback „Der Tee“. „Questions to Tea-lovers: Dr. Peter Rohrsen“ weiterlesen
